ADA Compliance

bullet What's wrong with sidewalk grinding?
bullet View our Animated Demo
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 defines a ‘trip hazard’ as any vertical change of over 1/4 inch or more at any joint or crack. Since the ADA demands strict compliance, trip hazards represent a legal liability to our clients. Cities, school districts, hospitals, churches, shopping malls, universities, apartment complexes, and other large buildings are all extremely concerned with this liability.

Our patented saw-cutting technology completely and cleanly removes trip hazards from sidewalks, virtually eliminating claims that result from trips and falls on uneven sidewalk. By having Precision Concrete Cutting remove their trip hazards, our clients reduce their legal liability using the most efficient and cost effective method available.

  • Each offset will be tapered according to the specifications requested by the client and will have a smooth, uniform appearance and texture.
  • The raised sidewalk will be cut from edge to edge and brought to a zero point of differential settlement, completely eliminating the trip hazard.

Our service, unlike other approaches, accurately measures each offset to ensure that we achieve the slope requested by our customers. The only alternative available to achieve ADA compliance (if done correctly) is removal and replacement, which is costly, disruptive, and time consuming.

what’s being said

Seldom do cities receive compliments on construction activities; but with Precision Concrete Cutting we have received numerous compliments from citizens and their satisfaction with the work that has been accomplished in their neighborhoods… I highly recommend [PCC’s] services to any city which is intent upon reducing their trip hazards and liability exposure. Our own liability exposure has been reduced significantly and any claims that we do receive are much easier to defend.
