Project description
Constructing a disability and mobility ramp without disrupting the general public whilst building.
Project Brief
We were commissioned a job to construct a disability and mobility ramp plus steps to a health centre entrance.
To construct a bin store and also to make alteration to the line marking in the car park.
To maintain access for clients and the general public for duration of contract but also provide protection and separation between us, the contractors, and the general public.
The Process
Minor alterations made to existing steps and construction area fenced off to maintain access.
Existing ramp demolished and disposed of safely.
Tarmac cut, foundations dug and edgings to new ramp installed.
Prepared base by laying and compacting MOT hardcore.
Tactile pavers laid within landing areas.
Ramps concreted and tamp finish provided.
Powder coated NHS blue handrails installed as per specification.
Steps constructed out of hours to maintain access for the public during surgery times.
Carpark tarmac made good, existing lines removed and new line marking painted to show "No Parking" zones and disabled parking bays.
New bin store constructed.
The Result
The surgery now complies with document M access and use of a building.
The patients can now access the building safely without fear of further injury or need assistance to see the doctor.
The car park has reserved spaces for those who are disabled or leasable.
