When BBC DIY SOS posted a call for help on Facebook for a Children in Need project, we knew Rapid Ramp could assist.

We supplied a disabled access ramp, while our partners at Healthcare Matters generously provided the skilled labour for its installation.

Our contribution was a small part of the wider project, which involved building a new facility for the Cheshire-based charity Joshua Tree.

A Healthcare Matters team member was on-site the next day to survey the site using our Rapid Scanner technology.

Within an hour of receiving the scan data, our design team produced both a 2D plan and a 3D model of the proposed ramp, overlaid on a virtual rendering of the site.

The scan revealed a manhole cover, so the designers added a removable access hatch to the ramp design.

The completed designs were quickly returned to Healthcare Matters, enabling the DIY SOS team to approve them without delay.

The ramp was installed only three working days after the Facebook post went live, completed late at night as soon as the tarmac was ready.

This rapid turnaround was made possible through the commitment and collaboration of our in-house designers, warehouse team, and the Healthcare Matters survey and installation crew.

Everyone worked seamlessly together to deliver this important charitable contribution in record time.
