Safer boat ramps. Safer launches.
Boat ramps can be dangerous. Grooving slippery boat-ramp surfaces prevents falls and makes it easier to gain traction when putting in and taking out boats.

Tidal zones combine everything that makes concrete slippery: constant moisture, algae and biofilm growth, and people moving quickly while managing trailers and boats. A standard smooth concrete ramp becomes a hazard within months of construction.
Crosshatch grooving is the right solution because the groove pattern works in all directions — trailer wheels rolling sideways down a slope, feet stepping across an algae-covered surface, and everything in between. Parallel grooves only help in one direction; crosshatch helps in all of them.
The grooves also interrupt the smooth surface algae needs to establish on. Less surface area for biofilm to grip means less slippery build-up between seasons.
