Rip Rap (Embankment)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap for Embankment Applications
Rip Rap is a robust, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones specifically engineered for embankment stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down durable rock, Rip Rap is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and resist erosion.
The embankment attribute signifies that this Rip Rap is ideal for reinforcing slopes, riverbanks, and shorelines, where controlling soil movement and preventing washouts are critical. Its substantial size and irregular shape interlock effectively, providing excellent resistance to water flow and wave action. Common uses include protecting bridge abutments, culvert outlets, and retaining walls in both residential and commercial projects. While Rip Rap is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, its superior durability and drainage capabilities make it a top choice for erosion control and long-term embankment protection.
