A 3-D Look At Why Cast In Place Systems Meet ADA Requirements
This video uses 3-D animation to demonstrate how the features of a cast-in-place tactile warning system, once installed, meet strict ADA requirements.
Video: A 3-D Look At Why Cast In Place Systems Meet ADA Requirements
In order for a tactile system to comply with ADA requirements, it must possess 3 important features: a brightly-colored surface to serve as a visual alert to pedestrians with limited vision, an auditory warning in the form of the truncated dome’s unique sound amplification feature (the unmistakeable sound on cane detectability), and a non-slip surface, which provides flawless traction and can be detected by cane or underfoot.
Failure to provide any one of these features will also result in a failure to meet ADA requirements.
Topics illustrated in this video include:
The anatomy of a tile and its safety features
The geometry of the truncated dome, including an animated cross-section
How the anchoring and air release systems work
The difference between cast in place and surface applied systems
How these aforementioned topics relate to ADA requirements
The necessary tools for finished transitions around a properly installed tile
Armor-Tile is the leading manufacturer of ADA truncated domes, detectable warning tile and warning strips and, as such, are proud to present this educational, illustrative, 3-D video presentation. The market-leading features of Armor-Tile products have set the industry standard for detectable warning systems that meet ADA requirements.
