Boat Ramp Builders
EnviroMarine’s experienced boat ramp builders can construct residential and commercial boat ramps and repair damaged ramps. Modern boat ramps are typically constructed from main roads specified high quality pre-cast concrete planks, offering decades of limited maintenance. Ramps can be constructed with non-skid finishes for the lower sections to ensure vehicle traction when pulling boat trailers from the water.
Boat ramps are an essential component of any marina or waterfront development project, allowing boats to be easily launched and retrieved from the water. Building a boat ramp requires careful planning, design, and construction to ensure it meets Australian safety standards and provides a smooth and secure launch for boats of all sizes.
At EnviroMarine, our experienced boat ramp builders are professionals who specialize in designing and constructing functional, durable boat ramps. We work closely with every client to understand your specific needs and requirements and create customized solutions to meet those unique needs. Our fleet of barges allow access to almost any location. We have the knowledge and expertise to assess the site and determine the best location for the boat ramp, taking into account factors such as water depth, tidal range, and shoreline characteristics.
The first step in building a boat ramp is to obtain the necessary permits and approvals from the local authorities. Our team understands this complex process which requires a thorough understanding of the regulations and guidelines that govern the construction of waterfront structures. Boat ramp builders are familiar with the permitting process and can help clients navigate the various requirements to ensure a smooth and timely approval.
Once the permits are obtained, our builders begin the design process. This involves developing detailed plans that outline the dimensions, materials, and construction methods for the boat ramp. The design must take into account factors such as the weight and size of the boats that will be using the ramp, the water level fluctuations, and the environmental conditions of the site.
We use a variety of materials to construct each boat ramp. Every material has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on factors such as the budget, location, and intended use of the ramp. Concrete is a popular choice for boat ramps due to its durability, strength, and resistance to erosion. Steel is also a good option for boat ramps in saltwater environments, as it is resistant to corrosion.
Construction of the boat ramp involves excavation of the site and preparation of the foundation. The ramp must be built on a solid base that can support the weight of the boats and withstand the forces of the water. Once the foundation is prepared, the boat ramp builders install the frame and decking, and any additional features such as guardrails, lighting, and drainage systems.
Our team also provides maintenance and repair services to ensure the long-term performance and safety of the ramp. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent damage and deterioration from the harsh marine environment, such as corrosion, erosion, and impact damage from boats.
