GRIPFAST® Corduroy Tactiles are designed to warn
visually impaired people of the presence of hazards, such as stairs, level
crossings or the approach to on-street light rapid transit (LRT) platforms.
GRIPFAST® Corduroy Tactiles convey the message ‘hazard, proceed with
caution’.
The profile of the corduroy surface comprises rounded
bars running transversely across the direction of pedestrian travel. The bars
are 6mm high, 20mm wide and spaced 50mm from the centre of one bar to the
centre of the next.
GRIPFAST® Corduroy Tactiles are made from a
durable GRP (glass reinforced polyester) sheet incorporating a ‘near
diamond hard’ aggregate for a long life span. |
