Shot Rock and Rip Rap are common terms used to describe large sized stone or boulders that are typically placed along shorelines, on the slopes of earth dams and embankments or around the abutments of bridges to control erosion and enhance the integrity and safety of these structures. These products for erosion control are available from many Graymont sites.
Gabion rock is also available from selected sites and typically manufactured for use in the construction of Gabion baskets. Gabion rock may also be used in wire mattress applications.
