Bagged Rip-Rap is a cement based product in a biodegradable bag. The bags are placed while the material is powdery and the moisture in the air sets the product to form a cement block. The bag rots away to leave a block wall that interlocks because of the flexes in the bag. bags may be lifted out for repairs or modifications to the wall. The construction can be done by hand or in phases to keep environmental impact to a minimum. The bags are supplied with either 50 lb. or 60 lb. of material in the same
size bag. the 50 lb. bags are extra loose so the bags can be molded into shapes
for going around culverts, in ditches, Some of the uses for Rip-Rap are: Dam Spillways: Repair can be made to existing spillways or can be laid overlapping for new installations. Control erosion around existing pipes or repair muskrat holes around spillway pipes. In new constructions, lay a wall around pipes and culverts so muskrats can't tunnel next to pipe. Dam Erosion: Lay along shoreline to stop erosion. Dam water Pumping Station: Line walls and bottom of waters edge to keep pumps from pulling silt and mud. Shoreline Retaining Walls: Can be hand placed to keep environmental impact to a minimum. Attractive walls that are durable without the use of heavy equipment. the system is approved by the Army Corp. of Engineers for erosion control.
Culvert Retaining End Walls: Placed around the ends of a culvert to keep dirt from pushing over the ends of the culvert. Temporary Erosion Control: The bags are laid across a hillside after landscaping to keep runoff water from eroding embankment until vegetation grows. Bags can be picked up after vegetation is established. Permanent Concrete Ditches: Valuable in remote areas. bags are laid in the ditch overlapping and stomped so that running water won't erode the ditch. Wave Breaker Walls: The bags can be laid under water and placed by hand for a huge construction savings.

spillways, pump stations bottoms, etc.
Both weight bags can be stacked to form retaining walls. The bags can be laid
under water.
Docking
area walls can be laid to stop erosion and keep area neat and clean.
Railroad Embankment Stabilization: Can be hand placed to
stabilize steep embankments where equipment is a problem to reach.
