    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.

    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

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

    @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.

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