I have wondered for years how this was done. Thank you for recording and posting this video.

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

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 6 жыл бұрын

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

@takotako808 11 ай бұрын

I'm confused too and have 0 knowledge. Would the area submerged need to be finished? Does that make it more resilient??? Idk why I'm asking .. I'll never own a boat 🤷 12k + where im at for something that may sink 10 minutes into your first ride 🤣

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.

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.

@bradbergsma673 6 жыл бұрын

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.

@Cerus98 6 жыл бұрын

Good luck getting a 12” thick slab of concrete moved without breaking - especially without rebar. If the grade doesn’t match the slab it will crack under the pressure. Building a dam and draining the water is the best method. This isn’t some private pond ramp that’s only 6” thick and 10’ long. KZfaq experts lol
