What is Rip Rap in Illinois?
Rip rap is human-placed rock or other hard, heavy material used to protect shoreline structures against scour and water, wave, or ice erosion, commonly used to armor shorelines, streambeds, bridge abutments, and other structures against erosion. In Illinois, rip rap is specified under IDOT Article 1005.01 of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, which defines seven weight-based gradation categories from RR1 through RR7. Rip rap rock pieces are classified into IDOT weight categories RR1 through RR7, with each gradation corresponding to a defined size and weight range for erosion protection and sediment control applications. Lighter gradations such as RR1 and RR2 are typically used for bedding layers and smaller drainage structures, while heavier gradations RR3 through RR6 are specified for channel lining, stream bank protection, culvert apron protection, and high-flow erosion control applications across Illinois highway and municipal infrastructure projects. See Illinois.gov for more information.
Why This Listing Stands Out
- Six gradations available — RR1 through RR6 from a single supplier, covering light bedding applications through heavy-duty stream bank and shoreline armor.
- IDOT-specified gradations — all gradations conform to IDOT Article 1005.01 requirements, making Martin & Company a qualified source for highway and municipal rip rap applications in Northern Illinois.
- Quarry-sourced limestone — hard, dense limestone from an active quarry operation provides consistent quality and durability required for long-term erosion protection.
- On-site loading available — material can be loaded on site with a $35.00 minimum loading charge.
- Established local operation — Martin & Company Excavating has a longstanding presence in the Oregon and Dixon, IL market with multiple quarry locations and consistent supply.
