Multifamily ADA Ramp and Walkway Railings
Project Overview
Black ADA-compliant ramp railings with returns and a matching walkway guard installed at a multifamily building with vertical siding and storefront glazing.
Analysis
The accessible ramp needed continuous handrails at the correct height with extended returns at both ends, plus a guard along the raised walkway edge.
Process
Survey with the general contractor, fabrication, coating, install ahead of paving, and final code verification.
Outcome
A fully compliant accessible ramp with matching walkway guard that reads clean against the new facade.
