St Mary’s Llanvair Discoed Church
A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR DISABLED VOTERS
Heritage
Chepstow, Wales
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The medieval church was one of hundred venues chosen within the area to act as polling stations where electors could cast their votes.
REQUIREMENT:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Two factors that were considered during the planning stage:
- The entrance opened onto a road, creating a minimal runoff.
- The site was on an incline.
These are circumstances we often overcome with a design to suit.
Our in-house designer produced CAD drawings, with reference to the site measurements taken by our site surveyor. These were given to the clients with their quotation.
END RESULT:
A temporary modular ramp was installed with a 1:15 gradient.
Installation took place the day before the election and was swiftly dismantled within a few hours the day after, and no damage was caused to the site. All components will be reused within other rental projects.
FEATURES INCLUDED:
- Standard Handrail - this handrail system ensures users always have support to hold onto.
- Trombone Ends - these are added to the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes catching.
- Mesh Platform - the self-draining mesh allows water to pass through rather than collect on the surface.
- Black Powder Coated Finish – rails are coated with thermosetting powder to provide a non-conductive, non-slip and scratch resistant surface.
- Telescopic Legs - these can be adjusted to accommodate different threshold heights.
EXTRA FEATURE INCLUDED:
- Yellow Tread - this is a safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the nose of the ramp and any level changes.
