RIP RAP This material is the large boulder-sized rock that is often seen lining rivers and streams. Classified into six categories, R3 through R8, the material ranges in size from 6 inches to 40 inches. Although not often used by homeowners, the material makes an excellent flow barrier in situations where creeks, streams, and rivers threaten property damage. Due to its size and nature, this material will not compact and is made to be machine placed in uniform layers. |

ANTI SKID This material is the primary skid deterrent used by many state DOT's and townships throughout the winter months. Several types and classifications of Anti Skid are used in Pennsylvania, utilizing sands, limestones, slag and cinders. The material will not compact because it is meant to be applied in a loose condition. Most Anti Skids have a 1/2 or 3/8 inch topsize and taper off to fine dust sized particles. |
