Rip Rap (Medium)
Applications & Uses
Medium Rip Rap
Medium rip rap is a durable, coarse aggregate consisting of large, angular stones typically sourced from natural quarries. The "medium" size range refers to stones that are larger than gravel but smaller than the largest rip rap, making them ideal for projects requiring substantial erosion control without overwhelming bulk.
The medium size offers a balance between stability and ease of handling. It is heavy enough to resist displacement by water or wind, yet manageable for installation along shorelines, culverts, and embankments. This makes medium rip rap a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications such as protecting slopes, reinforcing drainage channels, and preventing soil erosion around bridge abutments. While its angular shape helps interlock the stones for added stability, it may be less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or decorative finish.
