Rip Rap (8 To 18″, Limestone, Mdot)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Limestone (MDOT), 8 to 18" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 8 to 18" size range, made from durable limestone and meeting MDOT (Michigan Department of Transportation) specifications, is a heavy-duty aggregate designed for robust erosion control and shoreline protection. Produced by quarrying and breaking down large limestone boulders, this material is known for its angular shape and substantial weight, which help it stay in place even under harsh water or weather conditions.
The large 8 to 18" size range is critical for high-energy environments where smaller stones would be displaced, making it ideal for stabilizing riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, reinforcing culverts, and lining drainage channels. The limestone composition ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to weathering, while MDOT certification guarantees consistent quality for public and private projects. While its size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Rip Rap excels in applications where maximum stability and erosion resistance are required.
