Rip Rap Revetment - Class B Size

Rip Rap in a Class B size range is a robust, heavy-duty aggregate specifically engineered for revetment applications. Produced from durable, angular stone, this material is designed to resist erosion and absorb the energy of flowing water. The Class B designation refers to larger stone pieces, typically ranging from 6 to 12 inches, making them ideal for stabilizing shorelines, riverbanks, and slopes.

The substantial size and angular shape of Class B Rip Rap provide excellent interlocking capabilities, ensuring stability even under harsh conditions. This makes it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring long-term erosion control, such as protecting culverts, bridge abutments, and retaining walls. While its large size offers superior protection and drainage, it is less suitable for areas needing a smooth or compacted surface. Overall, Rip Rap Revetment in Class B size delivers reliable, low-maintenance performance for demanding environmental and structural applications.
