ADA-Compliant Landings and Concrete Ramps for Safe, Accessible Entryways
Ensuring Accessibility with Properly Designed Concrete Sidewalks & Ramps
For Orgeon businesses, public buildings, and commercial properties, ADA-compliant landings, sidwewalks, and ramps are essential for ensuring safe and accessible entryways for individuals with mobility impairments. A professionally installed ADA ramp must meet strict guidelines, including a gradual slope, level landings, proper handrails, and edge protection to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility devices.
At Wallace Construction, we specialize in designing and installing ADA-compliant landings and ramps that meet all federal and local requirements. Whether you’re upgrading an existing property or incorporating accessibility into new construction, our team ensures accuracy, durability, and full compliance with ADA regulations.
What Portland Area Property Owners Need to Know About ADA Landings & Ramps
To comply with federal and Oregon accessibility standards, ADA landings and sidewalks must be built to precise specifications. These key factors determine whether a ramp is safe and functional for all users:
- Landing Size – Each space must be at least 60 inches long and 60 inches wide to allow space for wheelchairs to stop and turn.
- Level Surface – The concrete must be completely flat, with no slope exceeding 1:48 to prevent mobility issues.
- Proper Placement – ADA landings are required at the top and bottom of each ramp run, as well as at directional changes.
- Ramp Slope – The maximum slope must be 1:12—for every 1 inch of rise, there must be 12 inches of ramp length to ensure a gradual incline.
- Handrails – Concrete ADA ramps must include handrails on both sides, extending at least 12 inches past the top and bottom for additional support.
- Clear Width – The space between handrails must be at least 36 inches to allow easy maneuverability.
- Edge Protection – ADA landings must extend slightly beyond the inside of the handrails to prevent wheels from slipping off.
Our team takes ADA compliance seriously because accessibility matters for all Oregonians. We proudly serve businesses in Tigard, Beaverton, and Gresham, ensuring that ramps, wheelchair landings, and commercial pathways are built to help those with mobility challenges safely access commercial properties and public spaces. Additionally, we help business owners avoid costly lawsuits and compliance issues by ensuring their property meets federal, state, and local ADA regulations—saving them time, hassle, and unnecessary legal risks.

- Compliance with Local Building Codes – Ensuring all ramps meet state, city, and ADA standards.
- Material Selection – Choosing high-traction, durable surfaces to enhance safety and longevity.
- Expert Construction Techniques – Following precise measurements for slope, handrail placement, and landing alignment.
- Concrete Paving Expertise – Designing ramps with reinforced concrete construction that resists cracking, wear, and environmental exposure for long-term durability.
- Commercial Project Integration – Seamlessly incorporating ADA ramps with curbing, sidewalks, and entryways so that accessibility upgrades complement the rest of the project.
