Local contractor places an 8" concrete slab 40' x 29' poured on shore and pushed into the water using a D8 bulldozer and some old crane pad timbers.

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.

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.

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

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.

@ConReese 8 ай бұрын

@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

I always wondered how they poured the concrete beneath the waterline.......

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" 🙄

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.

Got some good money for the wide load hauling to get that there. Unless it was poured onsite there?

@MikeyMac99 10 ай бұрын

1000% it was poured on site

@adamfrbs9259 10 ай бұрын

@@MikeyMac99 nice. Pretty slick, just pushing it right in there.

How long did this have to cure before you could move it? And what spacing did you tie your rebar at? Thanks

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.

@davee6161 10 ай бұрын

Ranger178 is absolutely right. Also, the company's safety department mandates hardhats. It looks like Gerke Excavating.

@johnnyconrad4859 10 ай бұрын

It's called safety A lot of places make their workers where ppe all the time. You should get put more

@johnbeckwith1361 10 ай бұрын

My local, privately owned, landfill requires hardhats despite being outside emptying your truck. Oddly enough, our city owned landfill does not require this.
