Rip Rap (Class 3)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class 3 Size Range
Rip Rap in a Class 3 size range is a large, durable stone material commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, these stones are typically angular, which helps them interlock and stay in place even under heavy water flow or wave action.
The Class 3 size range refers to medium-to-large stones, making them ideal for protecting slopes, riverbanks, culverts, and bridge abutments from erosion. This size offers a balance between stability and ease of placement, providing effective protection without being overly difficult to handle. Rip Rap is also used in commercial and residential landscaping for creating natural-looking retaining walls or decorative features. Its large size and weight make it less suitable for areas requiring compaction or smooth surfaces, but it excels in applications where drainage and erosion resistance are priorities.
