The Result
Accessible concrete that meets code and serves people well.
ADA concrete isn't just about compliance checkboxes — it's about creating concrete access routes that work reliably for people with mobility challenges. That means getting slope, surface, transitions, and detectable warning surfaces right from the start.
What's Included
What this service covers
- ADA access ramps at commercial entries
- Curb ramps and curb cuts
- Accessible walkway installation and renovation
- Detectable warning surface installation
- Commercial entry approach concrete
- Accessible parking approach and path of travel improvements
- Compliance retrofits for existing commercial properties
Common Situations
When people call us for this work
- New commercial construction requiring ADA-compliant access concrete
- Compliance retrofit for an existing commercial property
- ADA inspection finding requiring remediation
- Property sale or lease triggering accessibility review
- Ramp replacement or improvement for a commercial facility
- Path of travel compliance improvements from parking to entry
Technical Standards
What matters for a long-lasting pour.
Not all concrete work is done to the same standard. Here's what we pay attention to on every project of this type.
Running slope and cross-slope accuracy
ADA requirements specify maximum slope percentages for ramps and accessible walks. Running slope must not exceed 1:12 for ramps, and cross-slope must not exceed 1:48. These need to be accurate — approximations lead to non-compliance.
Transitions at top and bottom of ramps
The transition where a ramp meets a flat surface needs to be smooth — lips or abrupt grade changes at transitions are a compliance issue and a trip hazard. We plan transitions as part of the ramp design.
Detectable warning surfaces
Curb ramps and transitions from pedestrian routes to vehicle areas require detectable warning surfaces — the truncated dome pattern that provides tactile feedback for people with visual impairments approaching a vehicle area.
Minimum width requirements
Accessible walkways must maintain a minimum 36-inch clear width. Routes need to be designed to the required minimum width from the start, not retrofitted after the fact.
Surface stability and slip resistance
ADA accessible routes must have stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces. Proper concrete finishing provides the required surface characteristics. Heavily textured or stamped finishes require evaluation for slip resistance.
Coordination with existing conditions
ADA retrofits often work with constrained existing conditions — existing grade, adjacent pavement, building entry elevation. We assess existing conditions and design the concrete scope to meet compliance within the physical constraints.
Eastern Kansas City
Local conditions and what they mean for this work.
Commercial properties along the I-70 corridor and throughout the eastern KC metro have varying ages and states of ADA compliance. Older properties often need retrofit work to meet current standards. Eastern KC's freeze-thaw cycling can also damage concrete ramps and access paths over time, creating surface deterioration and trip hazards at transitions. We handle both new construction ADA work and compliance retrofits for existing commercial properties.

Common Questions
Questions about ADA Concrete
What ADA requirements apply to my commercial property's concrete?
The specific requirements depend on your property use, when it was built, and what triggers the compliance review — new construction, renovation, sale, or an ADA complaint. Path of travel from accessible parking to building entries is a common compliance focus area. We can assess the concrete-specific requirements during the estimate.
What is the maximum slope allowed for an ADA ramp?
The maximum running slope for an ADA ramp is 1:12 (approximately 8.33%). Cross-slope must not exceed 1:48 (2%). Landings at the top, bottom, and intermediate points have specific requirements as well.
What are detectable warning surfaces?
Detectable warning surfaces are the truncated dome pattern at curb ramps and transitions from pedestrian to vehicle areas. They're required by ADA standards to provide tactile and visual warning to people with visual impairments approaching a vehicle area. They're part of every compliant curb ramp installation.
Can you handle both new ADA construction and compliance retrofits?
Yes. We handle new construction ADA concrete work and retrofit projects for existing commercial properties. Retrofits sometimes involve constrained existing conditions, which requires assessment to determine what's achievable.
Do ADA concrete projects require permits?
Commercial concrete projects generally require permits, and ADA work is no different. Permits are pulled as part of our project scope. Some municipalities have specific requirements for ADA work review.
