GC Service Brief
Curb ramp and commercial drive approach construction provides accessible pedestrian transitions and vehicle access points for commercial developments. Curb ramps must meet ADA accessibility standards with proper running slopes, cross slopes, landing areas, and detectable warning surfaces. Drive approaches must accommodate expected vehicle movements while integrating with municipal infrastructure.
ADA curb ramp construction requires precise slope control and dimensional accuracy. Running slopes cannot exceed 1:12 (8.33%), cross slopes cannot exceed 1:48 (2%), and level landings must be provided at top and bottom. Detectable warning surfaces must be properly positioned and installed. We construct curb ramps meeting all current ADA standards.
Commercial drive approaches handle heavier vehicles and higher traffic volumes than residential driveways. Approach sections must support truck loading where applicable. Widths and radii must accommodate expected turning movements. Integration with sidewalks and curb ramps must maintain accessibility throughout. We coordinate approach design with traffic requirements and accessibility needs.
Municipal requirements affect both curb ramps and drive approaches. Right-of-way work may require permits, inspections, and specific construction standards. We navigate municipal requirements and coordinate inspections as required for commercial projects.
As a general contractor, we provide curb ramps and drive approaches as part of complete site development. Direct contracts ensure accountability for accessibility compliance and proper integration with municipal infrastructure.
