DDA improvement works were scheduled to begin, which included a permanent masonry ramp from the north entrance.  

Dismantle the temporary north ramp and repurpose its components to construct a new modular ramp from the south entrance.

The newly constructed south ramp will offer temporary wheelchair access during the ongoing building works.

Our in-house design department created 3D and 2D drawings for the project.

Consultations with relevant conservation and planning authorities were conducted during the design phase. Discussions encompassed assessing how the ramp would be supported around the existing paving features.

The installation of a fully compliant Rapid Ramp was completed from the south transept entrance.

To ensure stability, the ramp feet were not bolted down but connected by cross-braces. This precautionary measure was implemented to minimise potential damage to the cobbled ground on the site.

INCLUDED FEATURES:

• Infill Handrail - Prevents users from climbing or falling through gaps.
• Yellow Tread - A safety feature aiding those with impaired vision in identifying the ramp's nose and recognising any level changes.
• Trombone Ends - Added to the ramp ends to prevent clothes from catching.
• Mesh Platform - A self-draining mesh design that allows water to pass through, preventing surface water accumulation.
• Rest Platform - Positioned at 5 metres to allow users a designated area for pausing.
• 1100mm High Rail - Handrails that attach to any level section for additional user support.
• Continuous Handrail - A system ensuring users always have a supportive handrail to hold onto.

EXTRA FEATURE INCLUDED:

• Standard Underside Mesh - Specifically designed to prevent users from gaining access underneath the ramp, commonly specified for schools and other public buildings.

We consciously take particular care when dealing with historic buildings, offering a solution that doesn’t need to be bolted down or fixed to walls. 

Plus, Regarding any ramp designs; we are always willing to consult with the appropriate conservation and planning authorities.
