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

    I like the part where the music came on. I started dancing around and spinning and i jumped up on the table and then more music came on and i danced and then i stopped dancing when the music stopped.

    That's exactly how they put them in at the Sprocket factory but the professional boat ramp dorks put in preformed 16"X4"X10' concrete blocks on top of 3" crushed rock.

    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.

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

    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.

    cheapest/easiest way to do it?
    pour the ramp on top of existing slab near water. reinforce with mesh and fiber, let it set hard for a week. pull forms then push it into the water with a dozer.

    Been to my share of ramps that were short. Wheels drop over the edge and you can be f'd. Not talking about lakes or rivers that have run dry but just some ding bat who put in a short ramp. Frustrating.

  • @coreydark8795

    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
      @bradbergsma673 6 років тому +14

      Corey Dark rebar comes rusted. Have you ever worked a day in your life????
      If rust was a concern, stainless rebar, or green coated rebar would have been used..

    • @billjohnson6168
      @billjohnson6168 6 років тому +1

      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.

    • @1D10CRACY

    • @Cerus98
      @Cerus98 6 років тому +3

      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. UA-cam experts lol
