Rip Rap (Class A6)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class A6 Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class A6 size range 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 typically angular, which helps them interlock and stay in place even under heavy water flow or wind.
The Class A6 size range refers to particularly large pieces, making this rip rap ideal for high-energy environments where maximum protection is needed-such as riverbanks, bridge abutments, culvert outlets, and coastal projects. Its substantial size prevents displacement, while the rough texture enhances stability. While not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, Class A6 rip rap excels in heavy-duty applications where erosion resistance and structural integrity are critical.
