Rip Rap in Class C Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class C size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, Class C Rip Rap typically consists of stones ranging from 6 to 18 inches in diameter, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where significant protection against water or wind erosion is required.
The substantial size of Class C Rip Rap allows it to absorb and deflect the energy of flowing water, preventing soil loss and structural damage along riverbanks, lakeshores, culverts, and bridge abutments. Its irregular, angular shape helps the stones interlock, providing stability and reducing movement over time. While its large size makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in both residential and commercial projects that demand robust, long-lasting erosion control solutions.Applications & Uses
