Corduroy Warning Surface - Tactile Paving

The purpose of the Corduroy Hazard Warning Surface is to warn visually impaired people of the presence of specific hazards: steps, level crossings, or the approach to on street light rapid transit (LRT) platforms.

It is also used where a foot-way joins a shared route. It conveys the message ‘hazard, proceeds with caution’.

Surface Mounted Tactile Paving Tiles have no excavation or heavy lifting requirements and they are 5x more hard-wearing than traditional concrete alternatives.

They can be applied quickly on-site with a design life of at-least ten years, when using our specialist tactile adhesive.
