Cutting Curb Ramps Without Cutting Corners is a complete, step-by-step, visual installation of a detectable warning curb ramp, in adherence with ADA ramp requirements. 

Cutting Curb Ramps to ADA Ramp Requirements Video

This video literally takes tactile systems back to the streets as it covers all aspects of cutting the curbs and installing an Armor-Tile cast-in-place detectable warning system that meets ADA ramp requirements.

Beginning with an accurate survey, you’ll see how the curb area should be marked prior to demolition, and the location painted, to reflect the size and area of the installation. Changes in elevation must be marked and a more detailed design drawing made up for construction crew to proceed. Fine-tuning the alignments and marking the cross slopes are also covered in this extremely detailed video.

In addition to a comprehensive, construction demonstration for every stage of the installation, you will also learn invaluable instruction on work site safety, site etiquette and good workmanship, as related to an ADA-related project. Important finishing and cleaning stages, necessary to fulfilling ADA ramp requirements, will also ensure the end result is a 100% compliant detectable warning.

The final topic covered in the Cutting Curb Ramps Without Cutting Corners video is the proper procedure for renovations to the surrounding infrastructure. Despite a perfect installation of the actual curb ramp itself, if the corresponding street and curbs are not properly revised, the freshly installed curb ramp may still not meet ADA ramp requirements.
