Wide Variety of Options
At Blue Water Systems, we specialize in marine access structures made with aluminum truss frames. Our Canadian Welding Bureau Certified fabrication shop builds aluminum piers, walkways, ramps, gangways, and wheelchair accessible ramps up to 120'. We provide our products as well as installation services for commercial or industrial applications, marinas, and residential waterfront properties with options such as:
Custom Built
Our custom ramps and gangways are available up to 120' in length and are commonly used to minimize the number of piles or supports needed for access to docks and marinas. Longer ramps with smoother slopes have the added benefit of being easier to walk on. These longer ramps prove to be more cost-effective.
Counter Ballanced
Standard counterbalanced aluminum ramps for rough water applications. When wave heights are extreme, the counterbalanced ramp is controlled by a hydraulic cylinder with fully adjustable speeds. It can come with an optional remote-control system.
Wheelchair Accessible
Platforms and Ramps with smooth slopes at low tide allow for ease of access to docks and marinas. Our wheelchair accessible ramps for False Creek Ferries and Aquabus are some of our most innovative projects.
Piers & other walkways
Our piers, as well as ramps and walkways enable access to deeper and less sheltered water across shallow, rocky shores.
