Rip Rap 5Crushed Stones

Rip Rap 5

IDOT-certified Rip Rap 5 is a monumental 22"x16" crushed stone designed for the most extreme waterway, shoreline, and structural protection applications. The ultimate solution when nothing less than maximum mass and strength will do.

Rip Rap 5 (IDOT Certified #022RR05) represents the pinnacle of riprap aggregate, sized at an imposing 22" x 16" and engineered for environments where the forces of nature demand the heaviest, most durable material available. Its exceptional mass and angular form create an armor layer that stands firm against the most powerful hydraulic forces, wave action, and soil movement.

Deployed along high-velocity waterways and drainage channels, Rip Rap 5 absorbs and deflects erosive energy that would overwhelm smaller stone grades. On steep slopes and riverbanks, its sheer weight anchors the material in place, preventing the slippage, undercutting, and washout that threaten both land and infrastructure. Along shorelines and coastal edges, it forms a resilient barrier against wave action and storm surge, protecting the landscape and any structures behind it from long-term degradation.

For critical infrastructure — bridges, abutments, spillways, and flood control systems — Rip Rap 5 provides a level of structural protection that inspires confidence in even the most challenging environments.

IDOT-certified for uncompromising quality, Rip Rap 5 is the material engineers and contractors reach for when the stakes are at their highest.

Common Uses: Drainage and waterways, slope and bank stabilization, shoreline protection, and structural protection.
