Rip Rap (Revetment)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap with Revetment Attribute
Rip Rap with a revetment attribute is a robust, heavy-duty aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Designed specifically for erosion control, this material is produced by quarrying and breaking down durable rock into sizable chunks, typically ranging from 4 to 24 inches in diameter. The revetment attribute refers to its primary use in stabilizing shorelines, riverbanks, and slopes, where it acts as a protective barrier against water and weather-induced erosion.
The substantial size and angular shape of Rip Rap make it highly effective at dissipating the energy of flowing water, preventing soil loss, and maintaining structural integrity in high-impact environments. Common applications include lining drainage channels, reinforcing bridge abutments, protecting culverts, and creating retaining walls. While its large size makes it unsuitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, Rip Rap excels in heavy-duty, functional roles where durability and stability are paramount.
