Project Recap
In this video, a severely damaged concrete boat ramp was repaired and made safer using STOPSLIP™ HDV Anti-Slip Epoxy Coating. The ramp had become a major safety hazard due to its slippery surface, caused by constant exposure to rising tides and boat traffic. The repair not only restored the ramp's function but also provided a safer experience for users.
Step-by-Step Guide to Boat Ramp Repair
- Surface Preparation
First, the exposed aggregate and damaged areas of the ramp were repaired using GARON-PLUG™ hydraulic plugging cement. This ensured that the surface was solid and stable before applying the anti-slip coating. - Anti-Slip Coating Application
After repairs, STOPSLIP™ HDV was applied to the ramp surface. This specialized coating contains aluminum oxide aggregates, providing a slip-resistant finish. It’s perfect for environments exposed to water and heavy traffic, like boat ramps and docks. - Environmental Considerations
Given the ramp's proximity to water, the team took extra precautions to prevent environmental disruption. Berms were set up to manage rising tides, and the application was carefully managed to ensure no harm was done to the surrounding ecosystem.
Why Choose STOPSLIP™ HDV for Boat Ramps?
- Durability: STOPSLIP™ HDV is designed to withstand constant water exposure, making it ideal for boat ramps.
- Safety: It provides a robust, anti-slip surface, reducing the risk of accidents during boat launches.
A Ramp That’s Ready for Action
The project was completed in just 10 hours, and the ramp was back in use the next day. With STOPSLIP™ HDV, the ramp now offers a safe, non-slip surface that will endure for years.
Steady Feet, Steady Hands
Thanks to STOPSLIP™ HDV and GARON-PLUG™, the boat ramp is now safer and more durable than ever before. Whether you’re launching a boat or simply enjoying the view, the reliable, slip-resistant surface ensures safety and peace of mind.
