Getting on the water shouldn't be a struggle. For a lot of people - especially those with mobility challenges - launching a kayak from a traditional bank or dock is either really difficult or just not possible. That's exactly the kind of problem this installation near Gretna was designed to solve.
We installed a new ADA-compliant kayak launcher off an existing floating dock. The launcher itself sits low and level with the water, with integrated grab rails on both sides and padded rollers that guide a kayak straight in or out. It's purpose-built for safe, independent use - no awkward scrambling, no risky leans over the edge.
The dock setup connects directly to the launcher with a stable platform that gives users plenty of room to position themselves before getting in. The grab rails are solid aluminum, and the launcher surface is molded with enough grip to feel secure even when things get wet. Details like that matter a lot when the goal is making water access genuinely safe for everyone.
We do a lot of dock installation and waterfront access work, and projects like this one are some of our favorites. It's not just about building something - it's about making a public space more usable for the whole community. When a family member who uses a wheelchair can get out on the river independently, that's a real outcome worth showing up for.
If you've got a shoreline, a community access point, or a private dock that needs work - whether it's a new installation, an upgrade, or something that needs repair - this is the kind of work we do every day. Accessible or not, we'll figure out what fits your site and make it happen right.
