REQUIREMENT:
A temporary classroom block was planned for installation in the campus car park, elevated approximately 400 mm above ground level.
To ensure safe and independent access for all users — including those using wheelchairs and mobility aids — accessible entry was required at both the side and front entrances.
The project manager chose our modular ramp system for its demountable design, rapid installation, and reusable components, delivering a flexible and sustainable solution.
A timber ramp, by comparison, would have been a single-use system with longer fabrication and installation timelines.
DESIGN PHASE:
Once the building had been installed, we conducted a full site assessment, performing a RapidScan to capture all visible features, including walls, entrances, thresholds, ground levels, and nearby obstacles.
Our design team then overlaid a 3D model of the ramps onto the scans, carefully planning around any obstacles.
The final 2D plans and 3D models, along with the quotation, were submitted to the project contractor for approval prior to installation.
The detailed drawings proved invaluable during discussions with the university’s key decision-makers.
END RESULT:
Installation was completed during a week in the summer holidays to minimise disruption and ensure the ramps were ready for use ahead of the start of the new academic year.
At the end of the hire period, the ramps will be efficiently dismantled and returned to our warehouse for storage and reuse on future projects - maximising resource efficiency and minimising waste.
The University’s team involved in the project was very pleased with the finished ramps, which blended well with the modern campus environment while providing safe, compliant access for all users.
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.
