Push-In-Place Concrete Slab for Boat Landing - Goose Island County Park - La Crosse, WI
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.

He idled up a bit to get it moving but not much
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

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.

@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
Very impressive system! Congratulations!
Waiting for this ramp to be on a Code Blue Cam video
Ingenuity Construction will always be an inspiring occupation.
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.
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" 🙄
I always wondered how they poured the concrete beneath the waterline.......
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.
I always wondered how they poured the part under the water. Now I know!
Thanks
Now that is how you push in boat ramp
Listen to that cat!
Very interesting!!
Absolutely no overhead work going on. Are we afraid the sky will fall?

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.

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

My local, privately owned, landfill requires hardhats despite being outside emptying your truck. Oddly enough, our city owned landfill does not require this.
How long did this have to cure before you could move it? And what spacing did you tie your rebar at? Thanks

Itll cure under water just fine
Got some good money for the wide load hauling to get that there. Unless it was poured onsite there?

Probably hollow spots under it.

So? Think of slabs in a parking complex they all have hollow spots under them? Haha
Why not use a crane instead of burying it

Because this way it grades the dirt underneath flat
Was this done at low water?
