ADA Ramps in Madera, California

ADA Ramps in Madera

ADA-compliant ramps provide a safe, level transition between sidewalks and roadways for pedestrians using wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, or other mobility aids. At Madera Concrete Company, the work begins with a site assessment at properties across Madera to evaluate curb heights, sidewalk widths, drainage patterns, and existing concrete conditions. Each ramp must meet strict slope requirements—typically a maximum of 1:12 rise-to-run ratio—to ensure safe independent use without excessive effort. The process involves removing old or uneven concrete, excavating to proper depth, forming the ramp with a smooth transition to the street, and pouring high-strength concrete with a broom finish for traction. Steel reinforcements or wire mesh are often added to prevent cracking under Madera's hot summers and occasional freeze-thaw cycles. Detectable warning surfaces—truncated domes in contrasting colors—are installed at the ramp's base to alert visually impaired pedestrians of the street edge. Proper drainage is built into the design to prevent water pooling, which can create hazards or long-term damage. For businesses, schools, medical offices, and apartment complexes in Madera, these ramps are not just regulatory requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act—they are essential for equal access and community inclusion. Every ramp we pour is checked with a digital level to confirm compliance with both ADA standards and local Madera municipal codes, ensuring the finished work meets inspection and provides lasting value to the property.
