Rip Rap (Type 3, Black)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Type 3 in Black
Rip Rap in a Type 3 size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. This material consists of angular, fractured stones that are typically produced by quarrying and crushing larger rock formations. The black color offers a distinctive, bold appearance that can enhance the visual appeal of landscaping and infrastructure projects.
The Type 3 size range means these stones are substantial in size, making them highly effective at dissipating water energy and preventing soil loss in high-flow areas. This makes Rip Rap Type 3 ideal for use in commercial and residential applications such as riverbanks, culvert protection, retaining walls, and slope stabilization. The large, angular stones interlock well, providing excellent stability but making the material less suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface. The black coloration can also help reduce glare and blend with modern architectural designs.
