Product Summary

WARNING & DIRECTIONAL 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.

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.

Installation Notes

Product and Quality Standard

Mechanically and Chemically Secured

Each ESP Warning and Directional Tile is Cast in Place during the curing of Wet Concrete.

When the Concrete becomes cured, The ESP Directional Tile will then be mechanically fixed to the finished surface or substrate. Corrosion Resistant, Nylon Composite Hexagonal Anchors and, 304 Counter Sunk Tamper Proof Stainless Steel Fasteners, provide additional mechanical connection between the ESP Directional Tile and the substrate.

No Lifting Edges

The Cast in Place ESP Warning and Directional Tile also eradicates any likelihood of its perimeter lifting over its lifespan. This unique product feature is designed to meet compliance with AS/NZS 1428.4.1:2009 Amdt No.s 1 & 2 - Clause 3.2.1 (a) & (e).

Alternative Application Fixing Methods and Surface Applications

Each ESP CIP Access Tile can also be installed into or onto surfaces that do not require the unique ESP Cast In Place (CIP) process during the curing of Wet Concrete.

Where the ESP CIP Access Tiles can be recessed into the finished Surface or Substrate alternative and durable methods can be facilitated.

Applicator and Person intending to install ESP CIP Warning and Directional TGSIs

It is essential that anyone installing, applying, or maintaining the following ESP Directional Tile products, are trained and inducted in their application and use:

• Training (Minimum) & Induction

  Installer and applicators must be trained and inducted by ESP Australia P/L in the relevant application method of ESP Warning and Directional TGSI products. Failure to do so will void the product warranty offered by ESP Australia.

• Occupational Workplace Safety (OWS)

  Any responsible entity must be familiar with and have in place, the relevant work practices and insurances as to provide a safe work environment for the inducted installers and applicators who are to apply ESP Warning and Directional TGSI products.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

  Always use personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying the ESP Australia Warning and Directional TGSI products.

  The following items should be worn when applying the ESP Warning and Directional TGSI products:

  (a) eye protection,

  (b) hand protection,

  (c) safety boots and,

  (d) protective clothing for the hands, upper and lower body.

  Please note: If you are using electric cutting, drilling, grinding or other application tools then ear protection and additional safety clothing are recommended.

Mandatory Compliance with Applicable Legislation, Standards and Codes

Intended Use of ESP CIP WARNING TGSIs

The ESP Warning and Directional TGSIs are designed to enhance the safety, dignity and independence of people who are blind or vision impaired so that they have barrier free access to the built environment. Each ESP Warning and Directional TGSI provides cues which when combined with other environmental information assist people who are blind or vision-impaired.

WARNING TGSIs

• For each ESP Warning Tile to be effective, the intended use of this product must meet compliance with AS/NZS 1428.4.1:2009 Amdt No.s 1 & 2 - Section A 2.1 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and, 2.2 (a), (b) (i) and installed as to the tested results, as independently verified, in accordance with Appendix E of the above standard.

DIRECTIONAL TGSIs

• For each ESP Directional Tile to be effective, the intended use of this product must meet compliance with AS/NZS 1428.4.1:2009 Amdt No.s 1 & 2 - Section 3 - 2.1 (a), (b), (c), 2.2 (a), (b) and 2.3 installed as to the tested results, as independently verified, in accordance with Appendix E of the above standard.

A copy of AS/NZS 1428.4.1:2009 Amdt No.s 1 & 2 can be purchased from SAI GLOBAL

Application - Fit-for-purpose

Prior to any application of the ESP Warning and Directional TGSIs, all sites should be inspected.

This will ensure that the products will be fit for the intended purpose and the proposed finished surface. The will also provide the opportunity for the applicator to confirm the integrity of the finished surface that the ESP Warning and Directional TGSIs will be installed onto.

Positioning of Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSIs)

ESP Australia recommends that the proposed design layout for the ESP Warning and Directional TGSI installation, should also be assessed, prior to installation, to ascertain if the application will achieve compliance with the applicable codes and standards.

ESP Australia recommends that any assessment should only be done by a qualified and knowledgeable person who is experienced and fluent in the use of TGSIs within Australia and New Zealand.

Site Compliance with Luminance Contrast

Every finished surface and/or substrate is different and so presents its own nuances of luminance. ESP Australia strongly recommends that luminance contrast testing of the substrate, (finished surface - that being the finished surrounding surface in line with the accessible path of travel), be tested for its luminous value so as to determine that the chosen ESP TGSI has sufficient luminance contrast as required by AS/NZS 1428.4.1. Amendment 1 - 2010-11-26 Appendix E and specifically Table E1 should be used.

This will determine if the colour of the selected ESP Warning and/or Directional TGSI will be compliant with the applicable legislation, standards and codes.

ESP Product Maintenance and Replacement

Cast In Place during the curing of wet concrete, ESP CIP TGSIs are also replaceable.

With continual rise of meeting compliance with the built environment we’ve thought long and hard about how we can save you money over the long term.

The ESP Cast In Place TGSI Access Tile can be maintained in a very fast and cost-effective manner and at no additional expense; it’s simply built into very ESP CIP TGSI product.

Replacement

Each ESP Warning and Directional CIP TGSI is designed with the optimal use of material and is conveniently replaceable with the specific ESP application tools. If replacement is required, for whatever reason, it is recommended that an assessment is conducted by one of ESP Australia's product engineers.

The typical re-installation sequence for ESP Cast in Place involves a step process as described below:

Step 1 - Remove Existing TGSIs

Step 2 - Replace ESP CIP TGSI Tile

Step 3 - Affix with tamper proof fixings
