Curb Ramp Construction

What This Service Involves

We build detectable-warning curb ramps engineered to the running-slope, cross-slope, and landing tolerances that survive field verification. Each ramp is laid out against the actual intersection geometry so the truncated-dome panels align with the crosswalk and the gutter transition drains correctly. Our field leads document slope readings at pour so agencies have defensible records for their ADA transition plan. The work is sequenced to keep at least one accessible route open throughout construction.

Benefits

Meets PROWAG and local ADA transition-plan obligations; verified slope measurements captured before and after placement; cast-in-place detectable warnings that resist delamination; coordinated with adjacent paving and drainage work; reduces agency liability exposure at pedestrian crossings

Our Process

1) Survey existing grades and confirm ramp type against the standard plan; 2) Remove the failing corner and rebuild the drainage transition; 3) Form the ramp, landing, and flares, then set truncated-dome panels; 4) Pour, verify slopes, and log measurements for the transition-plan file

What Affects the Cost

Ramp type and number of returns per corner; existing utility and drainage conflicts at the corner; truncated-dome material selection; extent of adjacent sidewalk and gutter reconstruction; permitting, inspection, and traffic-control duration

Best Time of Year

Ramp reconstruction pairs well with the summer paving season so corners and overlays are completed in a single mobilization.
