Yattendon C Of E Primary School, Yattendon

REQUIREMENT: Compliant ramped access to the recently built outdoor classroom. 

END RESULT:

The ground in the front of the entrance is split between tarmac and a barked area. The tarmac is slightly higher and solid, whereas the barked area is a soft surface. Due to this, weed membrane was rolled over the barked area, and the ramp feet on that side were fixed to concrete slabs.

All legs were adjusted accordingly to achieve a level walkway with a compliant gradient of 1:15.

The ramp fully complies with Document K and M of the Building Regulations.

FEATURES INCLUDED:

•  Infill Handrail - this product prevents users from climbing or falling through gaps.
• Telescopic Legs - these can be adjusted to accommodate different threshold heights.
• Yellow Tread - this is a safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the nose of the ramp and any level changes.
• Trombone Ends - these are added to the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes catching.
• Mesh Platform - the self-draining mesh allows water to pass through rather than collect on the surface.
• 1100mm High Rail – these handrails attach to any level sections.
• Continuous Handrail - this handrail system ensures users always have support to hold onto.
• Standard colour: Black - Ramps are powder coated black to create a durable finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
