Poured concrete 6 inches thick with rebar. Based in with sand and covered sand with plastic. Waited 3 weeks and pushed it in the river.

@andrewnicely8468 2 жыл бұрын

I think it has more to do with a worn out machine than the Operator. Appears to me that it doesn’t have much for brakes and he has to use reverse to control it. I highly doubt you could do better. That man has probably forgotten more about running equipment than you will ever know.

We have the same type of boat ramp going into the Bay. It floods 2 times a day and they are still there 20 years later.

The slab being pushed into the water should have 3 feet of rebar sticking out of the end of the slab spaced every 2 feet on the shoreside that is then bent down into a concrete footer to keep the slab in place.

@@Tjkruse9889 you gotta know where you are at and where the loader is at. In that current situation it isn’t the best because the loader is downhill and that guy wasn’t very smart by putting a 2 by 4 In front of the slab😂 if you don’t know the operator ur right but if you know the operator and have been working for some time you guys should be experienced just by eye contact and trust

@claymabry6298 2 жыл бұрын

It won't be gone in a flood. You wouldn't think I mean it's already in water I get it's moving much faster when it floods but if the water is strong enough to pull it then it's gonna pull it if it was more on the bank. Being more in the water and letting it settle and if it floods then it should stay because it's settled and all if it was more on the bank then the water would erode the dirt on the bank and then take the slab with it. Or atleast that's my opinion

I'd say as long as it stays in one piece you should have no problems. No engineer but as long as the whole slab has contact with ground I'll bet the suction from the mud will keep it in place.
