Concrete Stairs and Ramps in the Lower Mainland
Concrete stairs and ramps coordinated around safe geometry, landings, drainage, railings, and adjoining grades.
What belongs in the scope
Stairs and ramps are geometry-sensitive work. Rise, run, slope, landings, edges, guards, handrails, door clearances, drainage, foundations, and connection details need to agree with the approved design. Formwork and reinforcement are planned around those dimensions before concrete is placed.
Plan the site before the pour
Existing buildings and sloped sites often leave little tolerance for field changes. Confirm survey or design elevations, structural requirements, railing embeds, lighting, snow and water management, and inspection points before construction. Accessibility requirements should be established by the project designer or authority having jurisdiction.
Concrete Stairs and Ramps planning questions
Can existing concrete stairs be resurfaced?
Minor surface issues may have repair options, but movement, failed edges, inconsistent geometry, or structural deterioration can require more extensive work. The existing condition must be assessed.
When are railings coordinated?
Before forming. Posts, embeds, edge distances, sleeves, and attachment details can affect reinforcement and concrete dimensions.
How is water kept off stairs and ramps?
The layout should coordinate top and bottom landings, cross-slope, drains, adjacent grades, and roof discharge so water does not collect on the travel path.
