Rip Rap (Light)
Applications & Uses
Light Rip Rap
Light Rip Rap is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones specifically selected for their lighter weight compared to standard rip rap. Produced by quarrying and breaking down natural rock, this material is engineered to provide effective erosion control and slope stabilization while being easier to handle and install.
The lighter attribute of this rip rap makes it ideal for projects where weight restrictions are a concern, such as around smaller water features, residential shorelines, or areas with limited equipment access. It is commonly used for protecting stream banks, culvert inlets and outlets, and retaining walls. While it offers excellent resistance to water flow and soil displacement, its lighter weight may make it less suitable for high-energy environments compared to heavier rip rap. Overall, Light Rip Rap is a practical choice for both residential and commercial applications requiring reliable erosion protection with easier handling.
