The client needed a compliant ramp to a new reception entrance.

Its design had to adhere to the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), Parts M and K of the Building Regulations and ensure easy access to drainage systems beneath.

Our modular system was selected for several key reasons:

• Its telescopic legs could be adjusted to accommodate the varying floor heights leading to the entrance.
• Our durable aluminium composite hoarding enclosed the underside of the ramp, discreetly concealing the drains while still allowing for easy access. The hoarding can be unscrewed when necessary, providing the client with convenient access for drain inspections.
• Our system is constructed from modular components that can be reused and repurposed to suit any future design changes. This makes it a much more sustainable option than single-use timber or concrete ramps that are often discarded into landfills.

During the survey, a LiDAR scanner was utilised to digitally map the entire area, including the building, the various floor levels, and any obstacles.

With this data, our in-house drawing team created a 3D representation of the ramp, accurately overlaying it on a virtual depiction of the actual location.

The final 2D plan and 3D models were provided to the client with their quotation.

Our in-house team managed the complete process of designing, fabricating, and installing the ramp system.
