Rip Rap (Large)
Applications & Uses
Large Rip Rap
Large rip rap is a robust, heavy-duty aggregate composed of sizable, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock formations, this material is specifically selected for its substantial size, which typically ranges from 6 inches up to several feet in diameter.
The large size of rip rap makes it highly effective for erosion control, shoreline stabilization, and protecting slopes or embankments from water or wind damage. Its weight and angularity help it lock in place, resisting movement even under heavy flow conditions. Common applications include lining riverbanks, constructing retaining walls, reinforcing bridge abutments, and creating barriers in drainage channels. While its bulk makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, large rip rap excels in providing long-lasting, low-maintenance protection for both residential and commercial projects where durability and stability are critical.
