Testing
Viztek Ltd Tactiles undergo a stringent QC process to ensure consistent colour and thickness throughout. Our tactiles also far outperform the required DfT standards of PTV (Pendulum Test Values) and SRV (Slip Resistance Values) and are second to none as far as providing the highest level of slip resistance as “Passenger Safety is Paramount” and that is why we would welcome any independent testing of our tactile paving products.
Installation
Viztek Ltd Tactiles can be installed onto almost any given substrate i.e. concrete / tarmac / mastic asphalt / GRP / Steel. Particular attention needs to be paid when installing onto freshly laid tarmac due to flux oils being present. The tactiles are also flexible enough to cope with any minor substrate deviations and are therefore ideal for the majority of station platforms throughout the UK. Our tactiles are installed using a high quality EP (Epoxy Resin) Adhesive that is Moisture Tolerant and provides an excellent bond.
Approved Application
Viztek Ltd Tactiles are only allowed to be installed by our own Approved Applicators, this ensures that the system is installed as per our guidelines and prevents any costly revisits to site and longevity of the system. Viztek Ltd Tactiles are supported and approved by Network Rails South East Route Management Team.
