UltraTech 0722 2' x 4' Cast-In-Place Ultra-ADA Pads are designed for the visually impaired to feel the raised, truncated domes with their feet. This, in combination with the tapping cane, can alert them to a different surface than the surrounding concrete sidewalk and an upcoming intersection. The safety yellow color assists people with severe visual impairment and the flexible construction forms to fit dips, slopes and inclines in sidewalks and walkways. These ADA Pads can be installed as part of either new construction: cast-in-place or as a retrofit surface-mount (P/N: 0751). This cast-in-place wet-set model features heavy-duty galvanized steel mesh molded into the bottom of the pad to help secure it to the concrete. These ADA Pads are quickly and easily installed, simply press the pad into freshly poured concrete until the steel mesh is embedded and the pad is flush with surface. The flexible urethane material bends and conforms to slopes, curves and other irregularities. These ADA Pads have better slip and impact-resistance than composites and are basically unbreakable.
These ADA pads are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Provide tactile warning surfaces which comply with the detectable warnings on walking surfaces section of the Americans with Disabilities Act Title 49 CFR TRANSPORTATION, Part 37.9 STANDARDS FOR ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, Appendix A, Section 4.29.2 DETECTABLE WARNINGS ON WALKING SURFACES.
