What ada curb ramps means in Augusta
The running slope of the ramp run may not exceed 1:12, the cross slope may not exceed 1:48, and the landing at the top has to be level within that same 1:48 in both directions.
The detectable warning surface, the field of truncated domes, has to cover the full width of the ramp and sit at the specified setback from the curb line. Its dome geometry and spacing are specified, not approximate.
Ramp work in Augusta runs through Richmond County and the city's own detail for anything in the public right of way, and those slopes are inspected with a level rather than judged by eye.

How ada curb ramps runs on site
Levels are set and checked before the pour, not after, because a ramp that comes out at 1:11 has to be removed. There is no adjusting it.
The flared sides get their own maximum slope where a pedestrian could walk across them, and where there is no walkable surface alongside, returned curbs are used instead.
Detectable warning panels are either cast-in-place while the concrete is plastic or set as prefabricated panels bedded into the surface. The cast-in-place version has to be placed within the concrete's working window.
The finish is broom-textured for slip resistance, and the transition to the road surface is flush within the specified tolerance, because a lip at the bottom defeats the whole ramp.
What ada curb ramps costs in Augusta, GA
Priced per ramp rather than per square foot, because the work is set-out, forming and the warning surface rather than area. Removal of the existing curb and any adjustment of drainage are separate lines.

Where ada curb ramps goes wrong in GA
The most expensive mistake in this work is pouring before the slopes are verified. A ramp that fails inspection by half a percent is a demolition and a repour, and it is not negotiable.

Questions we get asked about ada curb ramps
What slope does an ADA ramp need?
Maximum 1:12 running slope, maximum 1:48 cross slope, and a landing at the top level within 1:48 in both directions.
Do the truncated domes have to be a certain size?
Yes. Dome size, spacing and the width of the field are all specified, and so is the setback from the curb line.
What happens if it fails inspection?
It comes out. Slopes cannot be adjusted after the pour, which is why they are verified before it.
