Risk Mitigation
The Penalty of Non-Compliance
Fatal Errors
Poorly executed curb ramps and sidewalks lead to more than just inspection failures. They create massive liability risks, potential lawsuits, and the heavy cost of tearing out brand new concrete.
Accessibility Standards
Compliant Sidewalks
Full-path accessible sidewalks with precise cross-slopes and smooth transitions between existing and new flatwork.
Type 1 & 2 Curb Ramps
Complex ramp geometry including flares, landings, and detectable warnings that meet all local Wisconsin design standards.
Commercial Entryways
Main entrance and vestibule pad pouring that ensures a seamless, barrier-free transition into your facility.
The Compliance Workflow
Laser Audit
We audit existing grades to identify compliance gaps before demolition begins.
Precision Forming
Forms are set using digital levels to ensure runoff slopes within 0.1% spec.
Verification
Pre-pour check to confirm truncated dome placement and landing dimensions.
Finish
Non-slip broom finish applied consistent with commercial municipality standards.

Compliance Standards
| Specification | ADA Standard | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Running Slope | Max 1:20 (5%) | Ensures wheelchair users can navigate safely without excessive effort. |
| Cross Slope | Max 1:48 (2%) | Prevents lateral drift of wheelchairs while still allowing water drainage. |
| Minimum Width | 36 inches clear | Accommodates wheelchairs, walkers, and side-by-side foot traffic. |
| Ramp Slope | Max 1:12 (8.33%) | Federal maximum for curb ramps — we laser-verify every ramp to spec. |
| Level Change | Max ¼" unbeveled | Anything over ¼" is a trip hazard requiring beveling or ramping. |
Updated per PROWAG final rule (effective October 2023). All Trinity projects meet or exceed these standards.
Expected Costs
& Liability
ADA compliance isn't optional — it's a legal requirement with serious financial consequences. Investing in compliant concrete upfront is far cheaper than retrofitting or facing penalties.
- First ViolationUp to $75,000 in federal ADA penalties.
- SubsequentUp to $150,000 per violation thereafter.
- Tear-Out CostNon-compliant work must be demolished and repoured.
- LitigationADA lawsuits average $25,000+ in legal fees alone.
Timelines
ADA sidewalk and ramp projects require precision that can't be rushed. Here's what a typical commercial compliance project looks like.
Laser audit of existing grades and compliance gap assessment.
Demolition of non-compliant sections and subgrade preparation.
Precision forming, truncated dome placement, and concrete pour.
Broom finish, curing compound, and form stripping.
Municipal inspection coordination and sign-off.
