🔹 Rip-Rap 3–6 inches
- Light erosion control: Ideal for protecting small canal banks, ditches, and areas with moderate water flow.
- Soil stabilization: Used on slopes, road edges, and embankments where soil may slide easily.
- Decorative covering: In landscaping projects it serves as a surface cover, since the stones are manageable in size.
- Protection for small stormwater pipes: Placed at pipe outlets to slow down water flow and prevent scouring.
🔹 Rip-Rap 6–12 inches
- Heavy erosion control: Applied along riverbanks, large channels, and coastal areas with strong currents or high flow.
- Protection of hydraulic structures: Ideal for retaining walls, large storm pipe outlets, and bridge abutments.
- Shoreline and riverbank stabilization: Prevents waves or currents from eroding the soil.
- Foundation in heavy engineering projects: Used as a protective layer in embankments, ports, or areas exposed to hydraulic impact.
