After the foam tips were shaped to the proper form, the installation took place. When installing the reinforcing mesh, the team purposefully left extra mesh material on both tips of the canoe so that the foam could later be wrapped in the mesh. The foam was set in the tips and wrapped in the mesh and finally the unit as a whole was encased in the same concrete mix as the rest of the canoe.

The team decided to utilize the allowance of foam tips in the construction of Triton. According to ASCE 2018 Rules and Regulations, the canoe can be constructed with foam tips that extend 2 feet inward from both the front and back tips of the canoe. Using recycled material from previous years, the foam was measured and cut to fit the mold. The team used a file to best mimic the shape of the canoe.
