RAMP CONSTRUCTION:

Work comprised of:

  • Excavation works to remove access soil; to determine to correct height and depth calculations were completed.
  • The excavated area was filled with appropriate base filling material.
  • The backfilling procedure was designed, including thickness of layers and compaction percentage to assure proper support for the concrete pathway.
  • Correct angle for the ramp was also calculated to assure wheelchairs do not roll down the ramps at a certain speed.
  • A site step was created for easy car park access.
  • To avoid cracking, the thickness of the concrete ramp was calculated so a correct concrete mix design was used.
  • The concrete required 7 days to fully cure.
  • The top of the ramp was covered with Resin-coat heavy duty anti slip ramp paint.
  • Handrails were installed following ramp regulations guidelines.

  • All the ramps had concrete slabs installed on the site to avoid wheelchairs rolling off. These had to be installed at a certain height to adhere to wheelchair installation regulations.
  • In some cases manholes had to be moved for correct ramp position.
  • Shrubs had to be cut back to allow the correct width to be constructed.
