In October of 2014, the new Manderson Landing facility for the University of Alabama was completed and a customized low profile AccuDock® rowing dock was installed to compliment the stellar architectural features of the new boathouse as well as the beautiful surroundings of the Black Warrior River. Every detail was thought of in creating this one of a kind customized rowing dock including an industry leading freeboard of 5", three individual launch boat slips for the coaching staff, and a beautiful finish of Olivewood AccuDeck™. In order to compensate for the possibility of large water fluctuations, hoop roller brackets were used to attach the massive 10' x 189' floating dock to new steel pilings. A transition plate and additional hand railings were also added to the gangway to increase the level of safety and ensure easy access for up to two coxed 8's at a time.
