Rip Rap (Class E)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class E Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class E size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down hard rock, these stones are specifically sized to meet Class E standards, ensuring consistency and reliability for heavy-duty applications.
The substantial size of Class E Rip Rap makes it highly effective at dissipating water energy, preventing soil loss, and protecting embankments, culverts, and bridge abutments from erosion. Its weight and angularity help it lock in place, even under harsh weather or high-flow conditions. This material is ideal for both commercial and residential projects requiring robust protection, such as riverbanks, lakefronts, stormwater channels, and large drainage ditches. While its size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Class E Rip Rap excels in providing long-term stability and low maintenance for critical infrastructure and landscape protection.
