Extensive practical experience has proven that there is no substitute for mechanical fixing. Fixing a Tactile Indicator onto an existing pedestrian floor with adhesive has proven to date to be less reliable than we considered acceptable.

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.

The full installation package includes specially designed drilling templates, drills, to assist with drilling to the required matrix standard. These templates are available in various formats like 300mm x 600mm or 600mm x 600mm and others. Location pins are also part to allow for easy longer matrix applications.

Big advantage of the system, that it is fast and efficient and does not make dust or creates a mess. The brilliantly designed drilling system uses very little water and vacuum combination for dust prevention and cleaning. The water is continuously recycled and a very large area can be done with minimum water usage.
