Pipe ramps are used to protect exposed pipes from damage caused by vehicles or foot traffic. They can also be used for hoses, cables, pumps, and other objects. Without pipe ramps, there is an increased risk of damage to the exposed material, which can be expensive to repair. While pipe ramps don’t guarantee no damage will occur, they can extend the life of a pipe.
A pipe ramp is a ramp used to get over exposed pieces of pipe in order to protect the pipe from potential breakage if it has to be stepped on. Most of the time, the pipes used in construction are buried in the ground. This is sometimes impossible and the pipes have to remain above ground, which becomes a problem if the pipes are placed in areas traveled by vehicles. Vehicles must be given a way through without the risk of rupturing pipes.
Pipe ramps can also be used to secure hoses, cable bundles, pumps and cables. The pipe ramp is used by placing it over exposed pipe or other item. Once positioned over the exhibit, the ramp acts as a bridge so that passage can be made safely without risk of damage to the pipe or other object.
A pipe ramp provides a solution to a problem that might otherwise prevent pipe or different types of building materials from being laid in certain spots due to interference with the ride. Ramps are not commonly used on highways or main roads. Instead, they are used in and around buildings, for example in car parks and smaller side streets.
If a pipe ramp was not used as a passable bridge over exposed pipework or other exposed materials, there would be an increased risk of damage to the exposed material. For example, the weight of a vehicle driving over an exposed pipe without the aid of a pipe ramp would cause the pipe to crack over time as the material becomes increasingly weak. Pipes can be ripped or torn in the same way. Cables can get twisted and torn, which could cause problems with electrical systems.
The cost to repair such damage done to these pipes or other elements would be much more expensive to repair. Of course, pipe ramps or bridges don’t necessarily guarantee that no damage will occur. If a location has delivery trucks arriving day after day, the trucks can sometimes miss the ramp and hit the pipes again, which can cause the pipe to rupture on impact or wear out. A pipe ramp, however, will prevent this from happening in most situations and will extend the life of a pipe as a result.
