Rip Rap Limestone in R-2 Size Range
Rip Rap in the R-2 size range is a durable limestone aggregate designed for heavy-duty erosion control and stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and crushing natural limestone, this material features angular, interlocking pieces that typically range from 6 to 12 inches in diameter. The limestone composition ensures excellent resistance to weathering and long-term structural integrity.
The R-2 size is ideal for applications where substantial protection against water flow or soil movement is required, such as shoreline reinforcement, culvert outfalls, bridge abutments, and slope stabilization. Its large, angular pieces lock together to dissipate energy from flowing water, reducing erosion and maintaining the stability of embankments. While its size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, R-2 limestone rip rap excels in demanding environments where durability and performance are critical.Applications & Uses
