Processed Rip Rap

Processed Rip Rap is a robust construction aggregate made from durable stone that has been mechanically sorted and shaped to meet specific engineering standards. The "processed" attribute means the material has undergone crushing and screening to ensure consistent sizing and quality, resulting in angular pieces that interlock effectively when placed.

This material is ideal for erosion control, shoreline stabilization, and the construction of retaining walls. Its processed nature enhances stability and resistance to displacement, making it a preferred choice for high-energy water environments, culvert protection, and embankment reinforcement. While processed Rip Rap offers superior performance in preventing soil loss and withstanding harsh conditions, its angularity can make it less suitable for decorative landscaping or areas with frequent foot traffic.
