St George's Hospital, Roehampton

OVERVIEW

REQUIREMENT: Two temporary laboratories were planned for installation in the hospital parking lot.


It was determined that a ramp with a wide platform was necessary to accommodate the diverse range of daily users of the system, including those operating patient-moving equipment, carts, and pedestrians accessing the cabins.


END RESULT:

A fully compliant ramp featuring an extra-wide metal walkway was designed and successfully installed. This product boasts a secure loading capacity of over one ton!


FEATURES INCLUDED:

  • Yellow Tread - this is a safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the nose of the ramp or step. Additionally, it helps users distinguish any level changes.
  • Infill Handrail - if the ramp height exceeds 380mm, Infill handrail is a requirement to prevent users from climbing or falling through gaps.
  • 1100mm High Rail - 1100mm handrails are attached to any level sections.
  • Mesh Platform – a self-draining mesh platform allows water to pass through rather than puddle on the surface and potentially freeze. Minimum width: 1500mm.
  • Rest Platform - a rest platform at 5 metres is required to allow the user to pause.
  • Trombone Ends - these are added to the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes catching.
  • Standard Continuous Handrail - this handrail system ensures the users always have support to hold onto.


EXTRA FEATURE INCLUDED:

  • Yellow 900mm High Handrail To Ramped Sections – designed to be gripped by children and wheelchair users. A bright colour such as yellow is generally the easiest to see because of the colour's ability to reflect light.
