Rip Rap (440 Lb, La Dotd)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap, La DOTD, 440 Lb Size Range
Rip Rap in the 440 lb size range, meeting La DOTD (Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development) specifications, is a large, durable stone product engineered for heavy-duty erosion control and slope stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down massive rock formations, each piece typically weighs around 440 pounds, ensuring substantial mass and stability in high-energy environments.
This specific size and La DOTD attribute are crucial for projects requiring maximum resistance to water flow and wave action, such as riverbanks, bridge abutments, and coastal protection. The large, angular stones interlock effectively, minimizing movement and providing superior protection against soil loss and structural undermining. Common applications include shoreline reinforcement, culvert outfalls, and large-scale drainage channels. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or small-scale residential use, it excels in demanding commercial and infrastructure projects where longevity and performance are paramount.
