GUY gives back
For two weeks in November, GUY employees tracked our volunteer hours and monetary donations. During this two-week time period, GUY employees donated 75.5 hours and $1,912.45. This included time spent volunteering at local schools and with children's sports teams, walking in a 5K to benefit cancer research, and donating goods to the Blue Star Mothers.
We are proud of the giving spirit of the GUY community!
ADA Challenges and Practices
As a civil engineering firm, it is our duty to ensure that our designs meet the mobility needs of both drivers and pedestrians. The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) includes guidelines to make infrastructure equally accessible to persons with disabilities. How important are these guidelines? Consider that in 2010, an estimated 4 million people in the US used wheelchairs and 22.5 million people had some level of vision loss.
Providing equal access for all pedestrians includes such things as ensuring that
- Sidewalks and ramps are wide enough
- Ramps and cross walks have the correct slope
- Ramps face the right direction and include detectible warnings
At GUY, four of our Professional Engineers have received special ADA training and certification. We can work with you to assess your needs and develop solutions that comply with the ADA and provide equal access for persons with disabilities.
GUY family grows
