Rip Rap (Granite)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Granite
Rip Rap made from granite is a highly durable construction aggregate designed for heavy-duty erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Granite, known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to weathering, ensures that Rip Rap maintains its structural integrity even in harsh environmental conditions.
The use of granite as the primary material means this Rip Rap is less likely to break down over time, making it ideal for long-term applications. Commonly used in both residential and commercial projects, granite Rip Rap is frequently installed along riverbanks, lake shores, bridge abutments, and culvert outlets to prevent soil erosion and protect infrastructure. Its angular shape allows for effective interlocking, providing stability and reducing movement under water flow or wave action. While its weight and size can make installation more labor-intensive, the superior durability and low maintenance requirements make granite Rip Rap a preferred choice for demanding environments.
