Innovative Precast Ramp Installation

As part of broader fish screen improvements, TCB Industrial constructed a new boat ramp under strict in-water work windows. The project required rapid execution while maintaining environmental compliance.

TCB self-performed surveying, layout, excavation, and panel setting.

Custom Precast Solution

Eighteen custom precast concrete panels were fabricated and installed to form a 108-foot ramp. The interlocking “puzzle piece” design required high casting precision to ensure proper fit-up and alignment.

Sheet piles installed by a subcontractor created a cofferdam, allowing dry installation of ramp sections typically submerged.

Result

The ramp was completed on time despite tight construction windows. The project demonstrated TCB’s ability to deliver innovative civil solutions through close coordination with precast partners and effective in-water work planning.
