Magryn Engineering have been involved with the Emu Bay Boat ramp, on the northern coast of Kangaroo Island since 1999.

We have undertaken several upgrade designs to the original ramp which unfortunately was very limited and inadequate.

    construction

Kangaroo Island Council and Team Civil are now involved in the rebuilding of the ramp to provide a better facility including:

  • A triple lane boat ramp,
  • Two stepped jetties from FRP Construction,
  • Better roadway access
  • Formalised rigging/de-rigging areas,
  • Rock armour protection around the ramp area.

The ramp is located in an exposed location, and floating pontoons were not feasible for this site.
