Product Summary
WARNING & DIRECTIONAL TGSIs
What are ESP CIP TGSIs?
The ESP Warning and Directional Integrated Cast in Place (CIP) TGSI Access Tile is applied during the curing of wet concrete. When the concrete becomes cured, the ESP CIP TGSI Access Tile, is subsequently mechanically fixed to the finished substrate. Corrosion resistant, nylon composite hexagonal anchors and countersunk tamper proof 304 stainless steel fasteners, provide an additional mechanical connection between the ESP CIP TGSI Access Tile and the substrate.

Why do ESP Cast In Place TGSIs perform so well?
Each ESP TGSI Access Tile is manufactured through the method of high-pressure compression process of a Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC). Produced with our unique Herculite material, we construct every ESP Access Tile from the highest quality polymer components and, with additional UV stabilisers for the harsh Australian Sun, the ESP Access Tiles will maintain their individual Luminance Contrast Values over the long term.

How TOUGH are ESP Cast In Place TGSIs?
So what happens when large, heavy trucks cut corners and repeatedly drive over the nature strip? What about when they drive over the pedestrian kerb ramps with TGSIs installed on them? Which comes off better? The ESP TGSIs or the concrete kerb ramp?
As you can see from the images below, where trucks have driven over the pedestrian crossing, the concrete around the ESP CIP TGSI Access Tiles has cracked. The ESP CIP TGSI Access Tiles have not. They are as good as the day that they were installed and remain fit-for-purpose.
With 24 international engineering tests and over 20 years of application experience throughout the world, ESP CIP TGSI Access Tiles are the most robust, durable and functional TGSIs for pedestrian streetscapes.
Image: Can you see where trucks have driven over the pedestrian crossing? Look closely. Theres no damage to the ESP CIP TGSI Access Tiles.
Image: There is no damage to the ESP Cast in Place TGSI Access Tiles. It is still fit for purpose. Howere, the concrete around the TGSI installation has cracked and is beyond repair. The entire Kerb Ramp needs to be completely replace recertified by the local council inspector.
