Rip Rap (Class A1)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class A1 Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class A1 size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, Rip Rap consists of angular stones that interlock to form a stable barrier against water and wind forces.
The Class A1 size range refers to smaller Rip Rap pieces, typically ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter. This size is ideal for projects requiring effective protection without overwhelming the landscape, such as lining drainage ditches, reinforcing culvert inlets and outlets, and protecting small slopes or embankments. The angular shape of Rip Rap ensures excellent interlocking, reducing movement and providing superior resistance to washout. While it is not suitable for areas needing a smooth or compacted surface, Class A1 Rip Rap excels in applications where robust erosion control and long-term durability are priorities.
