Rip Rap (Class A1 (6″ To 12″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class A1 (6" to 12") Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class A1 size range (6" to 12") is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock, these stones are selected for their substantial size and weight, which help them resist displacement by water or wind.
The 6" to 12" size range is ideal for high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would be washed away or fail to provide adequate protection. This makes Class A1 Rip Rap a preferred choice for lining riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, reinforcing culverts, and stabilizing slopes. In residential settings, it is often used for decorative retaining walls or to prevent soil erosion on steep grades. While its large size offers excellent stability and drainage, it can be more challenging to install and is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.
