Field measurements can document the running slope in the direction of travel and the cross-slope across the ramp surface. Measurements at appropriate locations can also identify variation associated with construction, settlement, resurfacing, or irregular surface conditions. The recorded geometry can then be compared with design documents and the requirements applicable to the location, use, and type of ramp.
A ramp design expert witness can examine the planned running slope, cross-slope, width, landings, changes in direction, handrails, edge conditions, transitions, and connection to the surrounding route. Design drawings and specifications can be compared with field measurements to assess whether the constructed ramp is consistent with the documented geometry. Where accessibility or code requirements are at issue, the measured conditions can also be compared with the provisions applicable to the project.
The point where a ramp meets a walkway, floor, pavement, or landing can create a localized change in elevation, slope, or surface condition. Settlement, resurfacing, poor alignment, or construction differences can produce lips, depressions, abrupt grade changes, or irregular transitions. Measurements and close examination can help document whether the condition is localized at the transition or reflects the broader ramp geometry.
