Rip Rap (Class C (6″ To 18″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class C (6" to 18") Size Range
Rip Rap in a Class C size range (6" to 18") 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 weather.
The Class C size range is particularly effective for heavy-duty applications where significant protection is needed, such as reinforcing riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, or lining large drainage channels. The large stones interlock to form a stable barrier, reducing soil erosion and absorbing the energy of flowing water. While this size is excellent for structural stability and long-term durability, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Rip Rap of this size is valued for its low maintenance and high performance in demanding environments.
