The installation was successfully finished during the summer holidays, well before the new school year. Moreover, it required only a few hours to be fitted and was immediately ready for use.
In contrast to our steel Rapid Ramp System, a concrete ramp installation is time consuming due to the necessary drying time and is impractical in adverse weather conditions, such as snow or rain.
