Included within the Shaw & Sons Craftsmen Specifications are our company ’ s trade secrets and experience . On this project , we reassessed grades and elevations . Many civil engineers are faced with the task of fitting and connecting the project and perimeter to existing elements or other adjacent projects and properties . This task must be done while maintaining a surface of 1 %. Of course , ramps and walls are used to adjust to contours , but in a perfect world , all hardscape should be at a 1 % fall for surface drainage . Our target range is 0.75 % to 1.5 %, 0.75 % being the minimum and 1.5 % being the maximum . Through our evaluation , we changed the civil elevations on hardscape as much as 18 ” in vertical elevation to help flatten this project and make it more handicap and people-friendly .
