Two thoughts. First, the fun starts around 1:15. Second, kudos to the cameraman for a very steady hand! Would have preferred a tripod but let’s offer props where due, could have been a lot worse.
A crew did that in a creek that connected to a river and when they pushed it in , it got a air bubble under it and floated across the creek and sunk. They had to pour another one, this time they tied a rope to stop it
Doesn't quite make sense since the displacement required to float that block is larger than the surface area of the block itself but alright. Couldn't have been concrete anyways
@WoodLox because it's a flat surface the air pocket could be no more than an inch deep or ~2.25cm deep. Meaning the most buoyancy you could see would be a couple hundred pounds. But out of the 15 ish tons here it wouldn't make a difference. Sincean 8 inch slab weighs 100lbs per square foot no air bubble on a FLAT surface will hold it up. Just won't happen especially if it slides in like it does on a ramp then there's not even room for an air bubble to form
They did this where I live. We get 2 feet of ice on the water every year. One year in the water and the boat landing looked 20 years old. Mother nature is brutal.
insurance and lawyers you have to wear a hardhat everywhere for no good reason I've seen jobs require everyone to walk around in a harness even when on ground.
My local, privately owned, landfill requires hardhats despite being outside emptying your truck. Oddly enough, our city owned landfill does not require this.
Didn’t even come off idle what a beast
He idled up a bit to get it moving but not much
I have often wondered how they make slip ways and whether coffer dams are used. Never occurred to me that a reinforced slab could be slid in.
Ingenuity
Construction will always be an inspiring occupation.

Very impressive system! Congratulations!
Waiting for this ramp to be on a Code Blue Cam video

It was a carp fart bubble
Pretty massive air pocket to give buoyancy to a dense concrete slab and on center to balance it enough to adrift and not topple.

Was the tool used to make grooves a store bought item, or did you have to make your own/ We have a similar project to do. Thanks.

I should get this job instead. Every time I put a piece of concrete in a lake/river they call it a "crane & rigging incident" 🙄
Now that is how you push in boat ramp
I always wondered how they poured the concrete beneath the waterline.......
I always wondered how they poured the part under the water. Now I know!
Got some good money for the wide load hauling to get that there. Unless it was poured onsite there?
1000% it was poured on site
@@MikeyMac99 nice. Pretty slick, just pushing it right in there.
Absolutely no overhead work going on. Are we afraid the sky will fall?
Safety first smart ass

Ranger178 is absolutely right. Also, the company's safety department mandates hardhats. It looks like Gerke Excavating.
It's called safety
A lot of places make their workers where ppe all the time.
You should get put more

Listen to that cat!
Thanks
Why not use a crane instead of burying it
Because this way it grades the dirt underneath flat
How long did this have to cure before you could move it? And what spacing did you tie your rebar at? Thanks
Bar 1 foot on center
Not sure about cure tome
21 days is usually a good cure time.
cure time is generally 14 days
Itll cure under water just fine
Probably hollow spots under it.
So? Think of slabs in a parking complex they all have hollow spots under them? Haha
Was this done at low water?
Naww it was done right along the shoreline
Maybe better to do this a low tide next time....
It’s a lake…
Very interesting!!
If the guy walking in front had busted his ass , it would have been more interesting
genius
Nah, you did it wrong. Pull it out and start over………
У нас бы озеро спустили😅
The most boring video on the internet
@ryanj682
Maybe try cats playing with yarn. Might better entertain you.
Most boring comment on the internet.
Absolutely for sure , that slab is guaranteed against fire damage and theft 😁
Cmon stop being lazy there are 3 of you there send the bulldozer home and just pick it up man power cant weigh more than 28,000 lbs
