Side Access Ramp & Automatic Door

Nanaimo, BC

A new side entrance was needed about four feet above a sloping sidewalk so carts could move between the yard and the building. Amkat cut in the new opening, installed an automatic double sliding door, fabricated and installed the steel ramp to the engineered slope and railing requirements, added walkway lighting, and paved a new asphalt approach.
