Rip Rap (Class A4)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class A4 Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class A4 size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, this material features substantial, irregularly shaped stones that are specifically sized to meet Class A4 standards, ensuring consistency and reliability for heavy-duty applications.
The Class A4 size range is ideal for projects requiring robust protection against water and weather forces. Its large size and weight make it highly effective at dissipating energy from flowing water, preventing soil loss, and stabilizing slopes. Typical uses include lining riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, reinforcing culverts, and creating retaining walls. While its bulk makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Rip Rap in this size excels in structural and environmental applications where strength and longevity are critical.
