Rip Rap, La DOTD, 55 Lb Size Range

Rip Rap in a 55 lb size range with the La DOTD (Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development) specification is a large, durable stone product engineered for heavy-duty erosion control and stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and breaking down natural rock, this material is selected for its strength and resistance to weathering, meeting strict state standards for quality and performance.

The 55 lb size ensures each stone is substantial enough to withstand high water flow and prevent soil displacement, making it ideal for shoreline protection, bridge abutments, culvert outlets, and slope stabilization. The La DOTD attribute guarantees compliance with public infrastructure requirements, providing peace of mind for contractors and agencies. While its large size offers excellent stability and longevity, it is less suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish. Rip Rap of this specification is a top choice for both commercial and municipal projects where robust, long-lasting erosion control is essential.
