Sidewalk Replacement

What This Service Involves

When panels are too deteriorated for repair, we remove and reconstruct them with a properly prepared subgrade, new reinforcement, and concrete placed to current ADA and agency specifications. We address the root causes common to Western Washington sidewalks, installing root barriers or improving drainage where recurring heave and saturation have destroyed the original slab. Replacement restores decades of service life and brings non-compliant segments, including adjacent curb ramps, up to standard. All work is documented for capital-asset and warranty tracking.

Benefits

Restores decades of service life to failed walkway segments; brings non-compliant sections up to current ADA standards; addresses root and drainage causes to prevent early failure; can upgrade adjacent curb ramps within the same project; delivers full documentation for capital-asset records

Our Process

1) Evaluate failed sections and design subgrade and drainage corrections; 2) Remove old concrete and prepare compacted, reinforced base; 3) Form and pour new panels to specified grade, slope, and finish; 4) Cure, backfill edges, and provide as-built documentation

What Affects the Cost

Square footage of replacement and demolition volume; subgrade, drainage, and root-barrier work required; reinforcement and specialty finish specifications; traffic control and pedestrian detour scope; prevailing wage and material market rates

Best Time of Year

Full replacement is scheduled in the dry summer season to ensure adequate curing and compaction before the return of sustained autumn rainfall.
