BACKGROUND:

Ongoing improvements were in progress at the school, focused on enhancing accessibility. These improvements included widening existing interior openings and introducing new exterior doors equipped with ramps.

REQUIREMENT:

The ramps needed to comply with DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) standards and feature childproof, slip-resistant surface coverings.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

We created CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings internally, utilising measurements gathered directly from the on-site survey.

END RESULT:

Once the new doors were in place, we installed the DDA ramps accordingly with a 1:15 gradient.

Each system was fitted with our Safetread Rubber Surface. This is a cushiony, slip-resistant ramp covering designed to minimise the impact of falls.

This product is constructed from materials identical to those used in soft play areas and enjoys wide popularity among nurseries, schools, and public facilities. Moreover, it is offered in a variety of colour options and maintains its performance even in adverse weather conditions.

FEATURES INCLUDED:

  •  Mesh Platform - self-draining mesh allows water to pass through rather than collect on the surface.
  • Trombone Ends - these are added to the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes catching.
  • Telescopic Legs - these can be adjusted to accommodate threshold heights.
  • Continuous Handrail - this handrail system ensures users always have a support to hold onto.
  • Standard Colour Black - ramps are powder-coated black to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.

EXTRA FEATURES INCLUDED:

  • Infill Handrail - this product prevents children from climbing or falling through gaps.
  • Yellow Tread - this is a safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the nose of the ramp and helps users distinguish any level changes.
  • Safetread Rubber Surface – a soft, slip-resistant ramp surface covering that reduces the impact from falls.
