Rip Rap (Class 4 (4″ To 24″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class 4 (4" to 24") Size Range
Rip Rap in a Class 4 size range (4" to 24") is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, these stones are selected for their substantial size and weight, which help them resist displacement by water or wind.
The broad 4" to 24" size range makes Class 4 Rip Rap especially effective for heavy-duty applications where maximum protection is needed. Its large, irregular stones interlock to form a stable barrier, making it ideal for lining riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, reinforcing culverts, and preventing soil loss on steep slopes. While its size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, these same qualities ensure excellent performance in high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would wash away.
