ADA Ramp Improvements

What This Service Involves

We construct and retrofit curb ramps with compliant running slopes, landings, flares, and detectable warning surfaces to meet ADA and PROWAG requirements at intersections and crossings. Many older Western Washington ramps predate current standards or have settled out of tolerance, creating documented access barriers and transition-plan obligations. Our crews build ramps that connect cleanly to sidewalk, gutter, and crosswalk grades while managing drainage so water clears the landing. Each completed ramp is measured and documented to support your ADA transition plan.

Benefits

Delivers compliant slopes, landings, and detectable warnings; resolves documented barriers in your ADA transition plan; connects grades cleanly among sidewalk, gutter, and crosswalk; manages drainage so landings stay clear of ponding; provides measured documentation of compliance for each ramp

Our Process

1) Survey existing ramps and measure deficiencies against ADA and PROWAG; 2) Design compliant ramp geometry and drainage tie-ins; 3) Remove old work and construct the ramp with detectable warning surface; 4) Verify final slopes and document each completed ramp

What Affects the Cost

Number and configuration of ramps per intersection; extent of curb, gutter, and drainage rework; detectable warning surface product specified; utility and drainage conflicts at the corner; traffic control and pedestrian detour scope

Best Time of Year

Ramp construction is scheduled in the dry summer season for reliable concrete curing before adjacent gutters carry winter runoff.
