Rip Rap (Class B (6″ To 12″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class B (6" to 12") Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class B 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 rocks, 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 heavy-duty applications where significant protection is needed. This larger stone size is particularly effective at dissipating the energy of flowing water, making it a preferred choice for lining riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, and reinforcing culverts. In residential settings, Class B Rip Rap is often used for retaining walls, garden borders, and decorative features in landscaping where a rugged, natural look is desired.
While its size makes it excellent for stability and erosion control, Class B Rip Rap is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface. Its large, irregular stones provide superior drainage and long-term durability, but may be challenging to install without heavy equipment. Overall, this material is valued for its strength, longevity, and effectiveness in demanding environments.
