Hackney Housing identified a need to improve accessibility to the building, the existing ramp was wooden and did not meet the latest compliance standards, limiting safe access for residents with mobility challenges.

During the site assessment, we conducted a RapidScan of the area, capturing all visible features, including the building and variations in ground levels.

Our design team then overlaid a 3D drawing of the ramp onto the RapidScan model, carefully planning around any obstacles.

The design integrates seamlessly with the existing concrete path, with pads and edges aligned to maintain continuity across the ground.

Provisions were also included for the manholes identified, with access hatch sections allocated within the ramp design.

The final 2D plan and 3D model, along with the quotation, were submitted to the housing team for approval prior to installation.

Our fitters installed the access system within an impressive five-day turnaround time, with one of those days dedicated to laying the GRP surface.

Once the installation was complete, the ramp was ready for immediate use—significantly improving accessibility for residents and visitors to the estate.

This project forms part of ongoing efforts to enhance safe, inclusive access across Hackney’s housing developments.

Our modular system is not only quick to install but can also be reconfigured or extended to suit future layout changes—something that traditional concrete or wooden ramps cannot offer.

With being fully reusable and adaptable, it provides a sustainable, long-term solution for the community.

FEATURES INCLUDED:

• Infill Handrail - This product safeguards against users climbing or falling through gaps.
• Yellow Tread - A safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the system's nose and any level changes.
• Looped Trombone Ends – Prevents clothes from snagging at the ends.
• Slip-Resistant Mesh Platform - A multi-directional walkway with self-draining steel mesh and a galvanised finish.
• Continuous Handrail - This handrail system ensures that users always have a support to hold onto.
• 1100mm High Rail - these handrails attach to any level sections.
• Standard Colour: Black - Our ramps have a powder-coated black finish that is more durable than typical paint.
• Adjustable Telescopic Legs - These can be adapted to suit various threshold heights.
• Solid Hoarding - This skirt is purposefully designed to deter unauthorised access to the underside of the ramp.
• Slip-Resistant GRP Platform – A robust, non-corrosive surface designed for high-traffic public areas.. The colour contrast (yellow against black/gray) improves visibility for people with visual impairments.
• Modular Steps - Provides access for able-bodied users and can be a joining addition to a modular ramp installation or an independent unit.
• Access Hatch – Enables safe access to underground services for maintenance personnel.
