Rip Rap (Type 1, Class C, Black)

Rip Rap, Type 1, Class C, Black

Rip Rap in a Type 1, Class C size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. This material consists of angular, fractured stones, typically produced from high-quality quarry rock, and in this case, features a distinctive black color that can enhance the visual appeal of landscaping and infrastructure projects.

The Type 1, Class C specification indicates a specific gradation and size range, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and resistance to displacement are critical. Its substantial size and weight help absorb and deflect the energy of flowing water, making it a preferred choice for protecting riverbanks, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and slopes from erosion. The black color can also provide a striking contrast in decorative retaining walls or commercial landscaping. While its large size offers excellent performance in high-energy environments, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish.
