Ambulance Design Grades
Ambulance Design Grades
(OP)
Any good sources of design criteria (or suggestions) for grading a vehicular access for an ambulance at a medical center? I'm referring to the area where an ambulance would park while it unloads its patients and the manuvering area for the gurney. Maximum allowable grades?

1. Pitching the parking area toward the ER Room door could cause water problems and should be thought out. Convey the water away while maintaining the ADA slopes.
2. Why not contact the amulance maker and ask them, they live with this day-in and day-out? They have all the dimensional specs on their vehicle and understand getting patients in and out on a gurney.
