What makes an ADA ramp pass in Spring Hill, KS?
A ramp in Spring Hill passes when the running slope stays at or under 1:12 max running slope, the cross slope under 1:48 max cross slope, the width holds at 36 inches or more, and level landings sit at the top and bottom — the 2010 ADA Standards, verified on the finished slab. Street and public-sidewalk ramps follow PROWAG.
Spring Hill is young. Most of its commercial ground along US-169 and Webster Street was poured from 2010 forward, which puts the town in the rare position of building its first generation of accessible routes right now — at Spring Hill Town Center, the logistics and business parks, and the retail filling in around them. That timing is an advantage, and getting a ramp right while the pavement is new is far cheaper than retrofitting it later.
New retail on the 169 corridor — the cheapest time to get a ramp right
New construction is the one place a ramp can be built exactly to standard without fighting anything that already exists. On the fresh pads going in along US-169, we set the curb ramp and its landings to grade the first time, embed the detectable warnings as we pour, and tie the slope into the drive aisle so nothing has to be chipped back out next year. Done to design-slope-below-max, these ramps never become a retrofit line item.
That is the same standard we hold on parking lots and new pads for retail anchors, and it carries across to ramps in Olathe and Gardner.
A ramp on the Johnson–Miami county line
Spring Hill straddles two counties, and which side of the line a site sits on changes who reviews the plan and inspects the pour. The ADA numbers do not change — 1:12 max running slope, 1:48 cross, 36-inch width — but the permitting path does, and we sort that out before we form anything so a finished ramp does not get flagged over a paperwork gap. Working the plan review up front is the same care we bring on both sides of the state line across the metro; our permits and regulations guide covers how that goes.
Shelf limestone, heaving clay, and a Spring Hill winter
On the Johnson County side the limestone shelf sits close to the surface and steadies the ground, but the clay-loam mantle over it still heaves — and Spring Hill’s own crews see it in the newer subdivision transition zones. We compact the base so a landing holds its level through that swing, then pour air-entrained 4,000 PSI concrete with a broom finish for traction and saw-cut joints to control cracking. Every crossing gets a detectable warning set in the wet slab, and the drainage carries meltwater off the grade break instead of letting it freeze across the ramp. Ford Concrete is licensed, certified, and insured, rated 4.9 on Google over 29 reviews.

How we pour ADA Ramps & Compliance in Spring Hill
Confirm the jurisdiction
We check which county the site sits in and clear the plan-review path before we form anything.
Lay out below the max
We stake running and cross slope under the limits so seasonal heave has room before a ramp drifts out.
Compact the base
We build up and compact the subgrade over the limestone shelf so the landing holds its level.
Form landings and transitions
We set level top and bottom landings and a clean grade break into the drive aisle.
Pour and set warnings
We place air-entrained 4,000 PSI concrete and embed truncated-dome panels in the wet slab.
Verify as-built
We check finished slopes with a digital level and give you numbers for the file.
