Project Overview

The City of Brampton—one of Ontario’s fastest-growing municipalities—oversees everything from transit and road maintenance to parks, community programming, and facility permits. When a city official recognized that a frequently used public washroom lacked a safe, compliant ramp for wheelchair users, they reached out to Kee Safety. Leveraging our RightWay Pro Commercial Accessibility Ramp system, we provided a modular, rapid-deployment solution that immediately brought the facility into line with the city’s accessibility guidelines.

We delivered a fully compliant accessibility ramp within 24 hours—because safety shouldn’t have to wait.

The Challenge

A formal complaint highlighted critical safety and compliance issues with the existing ramp:

Poor slip resistance: The surface worn smooth by years of foot traffic posed a fall risk in wet conditions.
Unstable guardrails: Wobbly handrails failed to provide reliable support.
Non-compliant handrail dimensions: The height and grip did not meet current accessibility codes.
Uneven slope: Sections exceeded the maximum allowed gradient, making navigation difficult for wheelchair users.

These factors combined to prevent safe, independent access to the washroom, particularly for a young wheelchair user whose family advocated for change.

The Solution

To resolve Brampton’s urgent need, our team designed and installed a modular, ADA-compliant RightWay Pro ramp within 24 hours of project approval. Key features include:

Slip-resistant decking: High-traction surface panels ensure secure footing in all weather.
Adjustable handrails and guardrails: Prefabricated Kee Klamp fittings allow precise height and angle adjustments on-site.
Customizable slope sections: Modular ramp segments are configured to maintain the city’s maximum slope of 1:12, ensuring ease of ascent and descent.
Rapid-deployment design: All components are pre-engineered, enabling next-day installation without specialized trades.

The modular design of the RightWay Pro system ensures today’s solution can adapt to tomorrow’s needs.

The Benefits

Immediate Accessibility Compliance
The new ramp instantly met or exceeded Ontario’s accessibility standards, eliminating hazards and giving wheelchair users—and all visitors—safer, more dignified entry.
Long-Term Durability
Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum and powder-coated steel, the system withstands heavy use and harsh outdoor conditions with minimal maintenance.
Flexibility & Adaptability
Should the City of Brampton reconfigure landings, pathways, or slope requirements, the modular segments and Kee Klamp connectors can be repositioned or expanded without full system replacement.
Proven Speed of Delivery
Demonstrating our commitment to public safety, we completed design, fabrication, and installation in under 48 hours, minimizing facility downtime.

By partnering with Kee Safety’s RightWay Pro Commercial Accessibility Ramps, the City of Brampton seamlessly addressed pressing safety concerns and future-proofed its public washroom facility. The rapid turnaround and outstanding long-term performance of our modular system left a strong impression: the city has already expressed interest in deploying RightWay Pro solutions at additional sites. This project underscores how innovative, compliant ramp technology can enhance community accessibility today and tomorrow.
