ADA Parking Upgrade

Once all of the original striping and signage is removed we are ready to work on our blank canvas for the new ADA design. Before layout begins, pay special attention to the detail sheet for any notes or dimensions that may not be apparent on the site plan.

Once all details and specifications are noted begin layout.  Layout is one of the most important factors in this process and painting should not begin until all dimensions are figured and the layout has been approved by the foreman or an on-site authority.  Once verified, striping may commence using an ADA approved blue traffic paint.  ADA parking upgrades will consist of a handicap stall, unloading area, and a no parking stencil.

Once the striping is complete, the placement of the signs and posts may be established.  Core drilling and footing with cement is an efficient and quality method of installing the posts for the handicap signs.

After installing the signs and posts clean-up any loose debris from the job site and your project will be complete.  By following these steps you will have a happy customer that passes inspection of your ADA parking upgrade!

ADA Parking Upgrade

ADA parking upgrades will often require several factors in order to meet compliance:

1. Removal of the existing handicap stalls and signage.
2. Layout and design per plans.
3. Paint handicap stalls and install proper ADA signs and posts.

When removing existing ADA stalls, it is best to visit the job site to compare the existing layout with the approved set of plans.  This will allow you to determine what striping and signage needs to be removed and  see first hand any obstacles, or deviations, that may not be reflected on the drawings.

Once these details are verified, the scheduling of the removal may begin.  For concrete surfaces, shot blasting is a very effective method.  This equipment will remove the paint entirely without any mess or clean-up.
