At National Site Materials, we specialize in supplying high-quality rip rap (also known as riprap, shot rock, or rock armor) for erosion control, shoreline protection, and infrastructure stability projects. Rip rap consists of large, durable angular stones—typically limestone, granite, or similar materials—that interlock to create a strong barrier against water, waves, and high-velocity flows.
Whether you’re working on a coastal revetment, riverbank stabilization, or highway embankment, our rip rap is sourced for durability, proper sizing (from 4 inches to over 2 feet depending on your needs), and reliable performance in demanding environments. We offer various classes and sizes to match project specifications, ensuring effective erosion resistance and long-term stability.
Top 10 Usages for Rip Rap Materials
Rip rap is a versatile, cost-effective solution widely used in construction, civil engineering, and environmental protection. Here are the top ten common applications:
- Shoreline and coastal protection against wave action and erosion
- Riverbank and streambank stabilization to prevent undercutting and scouring
- Bridge abutments and pier foundations to safeguard against water-induced scour
- Culvert, storm drain, and pipe inlets/outlets to manage concentrated runoff
- Embankment and slope stabilization on steep grades or hillsides
- Channel lining and streambed armoring to control flow velocity and prevent degradation
- Pond and lake perimeter protection to resist fluctuating water levels and wave erosion
- Roadway and highway slope protection to avoid washouts and maintain structural integrity
- Outfall and discharge points for stormwater systems to dissipate energy and reduce erosion
- Flood control structures and levee armoring to enhance resilience during high-water events
