Rip Rap (Dry)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap (Dry)
Rip Rap with a dry attribute is a robust, coarse aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from durable natural stone, rip rap is typically sourced from quarries and broken into large, angular pieces. The "dry" designation means the material is supplied without added moisture, making it lighter and easier to handle during transport and installation.
The dry nature of this rip rap is particularly advantageous for projects where immediate placement is required, as it reduces the risk of compaction issues and eliminates excess water weight. This material is ideal for lining channels, protecting bridge abutments, reinforcing embankments, and creating retaining walls. In residential settings, it is often used for decorative landscaping, garden borders, and water features. While its large, irregular shape provides excellent resistance to water flow and prevents soil erosion, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.
