Materials
All stainless steel is marine grade 316, which has been further processed to ensure a lifetime of performance and resistance to corrosion.

Plastic content of the metal insert and full metal range is modified to withstand impact and the environment. Full plastic models are manufactured from polyurethane to provide a tough wear resistant quality

Installation

Professional installation is required.

All Indicators currently have a profiled plug incorporated into the design of each tactile indicator which suits a pre drilled 8mm hole. The depth of hole is dependant on the substrate material. Typically a 25mm depth hole is sufficient when fixing the tactile indicator to concrete.

Austact can provide a drill template to assist with drilling to the required matrix standard. These templates are available in 300mm x 600mm or 600mm x 600mm for D.I.Y. kits. Location pins are supplied to allow for easy longer matrix applications. Alternately, Austact can supply and install in most areas.

The Building Code of Australia specifies in what situations TGSI must be installed. To comply with the BCA the installation must be in full compliance with the relevant sections of the current AS1428.4. Tactile ground surface indicators for the orientation of people with vision impairment. This standard provides specifications on the form of TGSI and on their installation. Refer to this standard to determine the luminance contrast required between the TGSI and the surrounding ground surface and for installation details including width, length and location for a wide range of applications

Standards

Specific Australian Standards or other Standard(s) may be applicable for materials, manufacturing processes, or installation of some types of equipment. Compliance with relevant Standards is indicated by written certification that a product has been tested and assessed as compliant with specific Standards. Purchasers are advised to check with the supplier or manufacturer of this item as to its compliance with relevant Standard(s).

AS/NZS 1428.4:2002 controls the product and the installation requirements of Tactile Indicators.

The Austact tactile Indicator No1 profile (patent pending) has been tested by CSIRO to verify the suitability of the product in a pedestrian environment. This component was rated at R13 (38.2Deg),to AS/NZS 4586:2004, Appendix D. which significantly exceeds the requirements & ensures a safety advantage.
