Modular Ramps
For higher transitions, our modular ramps offer a longer and more accessible pathway with a gradient of 1:14. These ramps are available in various materials, including Timber, FRP grating walkway, and Modwood, to provide a safe and durable access solution.
The ramp must be supported firmly into the ground. This is achieved by either drilling, concreting or bolting to existing surfaces. Building regulations guide us in achieving the best possible support for the type of ramp being built. Our team can use different types of posts to achieve this outcome:
Once again, the construction process of the sub-frame is provided by building regulations. The distance between bearers and joists and end joists, the height from the ground, the weight it can carry, etc. Fortunately, our team of builders has experience in this construction process and can make virtually any ramp of any shape or size. Our preferred construction material is aluminium because it is strong, lightweight and lasts for a very long time.
The deck must be able to tolerate significant harsh weather, provide a strong and stable platform and be slip-resistant. All of the deck materials we use meet these criteria, and our measured slip resistance is R11.

Construction of the handrails for accessibility is once again provided by national building regulations and specific guidance from AS1428.1. These codes and standards outline specific requirements such as the size of the gripping surface, distance from objects, height from the ground, termination design, etc. Our team has been building to these construction specifications for a very long time and is well aware of the details of what they are and why they are required. Our preferred handrail materials are:
- Stainless Steel
- GRP
