Commonly asked questions regarding RAMPAGE DESIGN construction methods

I. Suitability of construction materials? Our product consists of a fully welded and Hot Dipped galvanised steel frame fabricated from 3mm- 5mm steel sections with 65mm thick concrete faces as per Engineers Specification (Airey, Ryan + Hill + Assoc).

2. Durability and anti-vandalism features? Due the construction methods used, there is no maintenance required on the metal sections, whilst the steel framed concrete skateable faces provide better longevity than in-situ concrete facilities. Graffiti on the structures can be easily covered with the same inexpensive masonry sealer in which all ramps are coated prior to installation. However it is recommended that only unsightly or offensive graffiti be removed as it provides both a safety and ownership aspect to the facility. Professional street art can be supplied on request by Mr Lindsay Westphal A.K.A.- AMUCK Graffiti Solutions.

3. Compliance with construction standards? Currently there exists no Australian Standard for the construction of SK8 Parks however all relevant standards for concrete and steel fabrication and playground equipment safety have been adopted as part of our Engineers Specification. Tolerances for steel work are +/-1.5 mm and plastic nose section to ground-0.5mm/+0.00mm

4. Noise and amenity features? Noise levels as a result of the skateboarding are identical to those generated by in-situ facilities.

5. Specific Site Suitability? RAMPAGE DESIGN Skateable Shapes can be sited on any flat, semi-level hardstand (concrete/bitumen) provided the age and condition of the area is conducive to safe skating. M30 screw levelling feet in each module corner ensures a rock steady set up on any site regardless of pad inconsistencies whilst the 10mm polypropylene nose sections guarantee a smooth transition from pad to ramp.

6. How does the cost of Rampage Design products compare with the equivalent insitue product? Comparisons to date would indicate that RAMPAGE DESIGN's exclusive method of construction can afford clients a cost saving of between 30 + 40% as opposed to insitue structures of the same size and configuration thus providing more SK8 Park/s for your budgeted dollar or indeed limited budgets as pieces can be added at any time with Rampage Parks starting at $10 000 and expandable in $1 000 increments to suit area growth and demand or resited as areas develop.

7. Yes! RAMPAGE DESIGN is W.A's Leading Designer Builder. Currently Rampage Design has 60 SK8 Parks State wide from Albany to Port Hedland with an impressive list of repeat sales to several Local Government Shires as well as receiving 2 local and 2 Federal Government Design and Innovation Awards , demonstrating the acceptance of this exciting new concept and its versatility in a number of remote and city applications.

8. How much area is required? Site dimensions are dependent on:

Number of pieces to be sited
Projected expansion (if any)
Demographic of local usage (Age/Skill level )

Generally, one basketball court (16m x 30m) is sufficient to allow for sitting and expansion of most standard sets, although the minimum recommended is 400mSq.
