    This is the proper way to build a ramp. The whole pouring it and push it in seems un professional. Great work 💪

    The 2 most common methods of building or replacing a boat ramp is to either build the slab and push/slide it into the water or to build a cofferdam and pour the slab in place. If using the former method, it is essential to ensure that the grade is consistent or the slab will break.

  • @waynep343
    @waynep343 6 лет назад +3

    Precast with a saw tooth surface would be better. Perhaps hollow and floated in then pumped full of sand slurry to sink it slowly.. thanks.

    • @soldtobediers
      @soldtobediers 6 лет назад

      Agreed. The coffer dam material & labor istallation alone, cost more than the loads of concrete & both type pumps. 52918

  • @PeterDMayr
    @PeterDMayr 4 года назад

    I am seeing rock or aggregate under the rebars. I guess that is mainly to level the slope. I am wondering if it is a good idea to use sand instead.

    • @knepperconstruction6335

      The shoring was not completely water tight so they stop the pumps and it filled in in a couple hours

    Been to my share of ramps that were short. Wheels drop over the edge and you can be f'd. Not talking about lakes or rivers that have run dry but just some ding bat who put in a short ramp. Frustrating.

    Since that was salt water the concrete should have known better to keep the water out while the rebar was down and no concrete poured yet because he has just started concrete cancer and rust in the rebar.

      If rust was a concern, stainless rebar, or green coated rebar would have been used..

    • @billjohnson6168
      @billjohnson6168 6 лет назад +1

      You need oxygen also for corrosion to occur. The re-bar is fully encased in concrete. The concrete will probably need replaced before the re-bar corrodes apart.
