Rip Rap (Type D, Black)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Type D in Black
Rip Rap in a Type D size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty stabilization projects. This material consists of angular, fractured stones, and in this case, features a striking black color that can enhance the visual appeal of landscaping and shoreline applications.
The Type D size range refers to some of the largest rip rap stones available, making it ideal for high-energy environments where maximum protection is needed-such as riverbanks, seawalls, bridge abutments, and large drainage channels. The substantial size and angular shape help the stones interlock, providing excellent resistance to displacement from water flow or heavy impact. The black color can also be a design advantage for projects seeking a bold, modern look. While its size makes it less suitable for compacting or pedestrian areas, Rip Rap Type D excels in structural and protective roles for both residential and commercial projects.
