Compliance Reporting
ADA Curb Ramp Compliance Reporting
ADAM is a powerful, easy-to-use ADA sidewalk safety and curb ramp assessment and compliance solution. Combining precision hardware with intuitive, web-based software, ADAM streamlines digital inspections, measurements, reporting, and job management. Guided workflows align with standard ADA requirements, state-specific measurements, and evolving regulations such as MUTCD and PROWAG. Populate state-compliant curb ramp reports with consistent, highly accurate data.
Portal Software Suite
ADA Compliant Sidewalk Slope and Safety Evaluation
ADAM’s Sidewalk Assessment Tool enables a detailed review of 3D digital infrastructure models for sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, surface conditions, obstacles, and ADA technical infeasibilities. Used in Compliance assessments, these data-rich 3D models deliver comprehensive ADA compliance analysis and reporting.
For quick evaluations, ADAM’s tools support in-field measurement and data processing directly from the jobsite — no complex post-processing required. When deeper analysis is needed, Compliance workflows bring the site to your desktop with highly accurate models (up to 0.1″ resolution) that eliminate costly return visits.
Easily save and share model views with embedded measurement points for collaboration with third-party stakeholders, archiving, and defensible ADA documentation.

Design & Engineering
Accurate 3D Infrastructure Model
Unlike other inspection processes and technologies, ADAM provides a 3D infrastructure model — the physical site’s digital twin — that is exceptionally detailed and accurate. View, assess, and measure obstacles, technical infeasibilities, slopes, distances, and elevations. Downloadable and shareable in various file formats and units of measurement, these digital assets save time, effort, and money when (re)design or engineering is needed. LAS file export supports inches, feet, or meters in full or reduced resolution as preferred, and converts to digital elevation maps in minutes.
Rieker’s Advanced Data Acquisition and Measurement (ADAM) Solution
Reputation and Know How
With over 100 years of leadership, engineering excellence, and innovation, Rieker delivers trusted solutions for complex infrastructure challenges—expertise that forms the foundation of its Advanced Data Acquisition and Measurement (ADAM) solution.
ADAM combines specialized hardware and advanced software to capture highly accurate 3D digital infrastructure models, enabling precise measurement, analysis, and compliance verification with reliable data for informed decision-making.
Trust and Confidence
ADAM leverages Rieker's proven inclinometer (H6 Flex Series) technology to automatically determine and set a zero reference plane. The automated reference plane (ARP) equipment includes parts manufactured and calibrated to meet National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certification standards.
Created with Rieker's expertise in computer vision tools and techniques and integrated with global positioning system (GPS) technology, the result is a location-specific, highly detailed, and accurate 3D digital infrastructure model enabling NIST traceable measurement, analysis, and reporting.
Effective and Efficient Capability
Using the Model Analysis Tool (sidewalk inspection software) included with ADAM, measurements made on the model (the 3D digital site twin) are consistent, repeatable, and NIST traceable. As needed, model views including all measurements can be saved and shared with 3rd party stakeholders and exported in various file formats for use (import) in 3rd party software.
ADAM also includes a Job Management Tool (sidewalk inspection software) that enables scheduling with due dates, categorization (grouping), mapping, assignment, and monitoring of job status.
