Rip Rap (Limsetone)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Limestone
Rip Rap made from limestone is a durable and heavy-duty aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down large limestone boulders, this material features irregular, angular shapes that interlock effectively when placed, providing superior resistance to water flow and soil displacement.
The limestone attribute ensures excellent longevity and resistance to weathering, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications such as protecting riverbanks, lake shores, bridge abutments, and culvert outlets. Its substantial weight and rough texture help anchor it in place, reducing the risk of washout during heavy rains or flooding. While Rip Rap limestone is not typically used for decorative purposes due to its size and rugged appearance, it excels in functional roles where stability and protection are paramount.
