Rip Rap
Ultimate River and Sea Defense Solution for Erosion Control
Rip Rap is a coarse rock available in a size range of 300-700mm to 500-700mm. It's an effective choice for the protection of shorelines, structures and rivers offering long lasting wave dissipation and scour protection.
Rip Rap acts as a wall of armour along the seafront, river banks or streams in order to protect the infrastructure around it, and prevent any chance of soil erosion caused by rain or run off, with excellent drainage properties in order to maintain the structure of the land.
why rip rap?
Our highly durable Rip Rap should be your first port of call for anything sea defence related, and we can provide you with our high quality product all over the country. It works by absorbing the impact of waves before they reach a structure or beach. The permeability of RipRap slows the water flow, reducing the effect of erosion.
We have sites in Glensanda (Scotland) and Bardon Hill (Leicester) that can create products of this size. This is due to the strength of the rock in these areas, boasting excellent durability qualities and therefore developing a strong resistance to erosion.
We can transport our heavy duty Armour Stone across the country with excellent logistics services meaning we can distribute by sea, road or rail. This also works towards our sustainability goals as we can differentiate our modes of transport depending on your requirements.
