PROJECT BACKGROUND:

The medieval church was selected as one of hundreds of venues in the area to serve as a polling station, providing electors with a place to cast their votes.

REQUIREMENT:

A temporary ramp to overcome the historic stone steps without causing damage to the site.

The installation was scheduled the day before Election Day, and removal was planned the following morning.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Two factors taken into account during the planning phase included:

  • The entrance opened onto a road, resulting in minimal runoff.
  • The site was situated on an incline.

These are common challenges we address through tailored designs.

Our in-house design team generated CAD drawings using measurements collected by our site surveyor. These drawings were provided to the client along with their quotation.

END RESULT:

Our in-house installers swiftly fitted the temporary modular ramp within a few hours on the eve of the election.

It was efficiently dismantled shortly after the election, leaving the site undamaged. All components will be reused in future rental projects.

FEATURES INCLUDED:

  • Standard Handrail - Ensuring users always have support to hold onto.
  • Trombone Ends - Added to the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes catching.
  • Mesh Platform - Self-draining mesh allows water to pass through rather than collect on the surface.
  • Black Powder Coated Finish - Rails are coated with thermosetting powder, providing a non-conductive, non-slip, and scratch-resistant surface.
  • Telescopic Legs - Adjustable to accommodate different threshold heights.

EXTRA FEATURE INCLUDED:

  • Yellow Tread - this is a safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the nose of the ramp and any level changes.
