Rip Rap (Type 3, Class B, Black)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap, Type 3, Class B, Black
Rip Rap in a Type 3, Class B 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. The black color offers a distinctive appearance, making it suitable for both functional and decorative applications.
The Type 3, Class B sizing refers to substantial stone pieces, generally ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter. This larger size is crucial for withstanding high water flow and wave action, making it ideal for protecting riverbanks, culverts, bridge abutments, and coastal areas from erosion. The angular shape helps the stones interlock, providing stability and reducing movement over time. While its size and weight make it less suitable for compacting or pedestrian areas, Rip Rap is highly effective for heavy-duty applications where long-term durability and resistance to displacement are required.
