AlertCast® Cast-In-Place Detectable Warning
AlertCast® is a glass-reinforced thermoset composite engineered for superior impact-resistance, slip-resistance, wear-resistance and long-term durability. Our exclusive design incorporates a top panel of truncated domes molded to exact ADA specifications for detectable warnings and bottom docking anchors that are embedded into wet concrete. Our proprietary PENETRATOR™ concrete anchors lock the part securely into the concrete without displacing aggregate or trapping air beneath the part’s surface. This system is very lightweight and the panels maintain flexibility so they are easy and fast to work with during installations.
AlertCast® Detectable Warnings
- Glass-reinforced thermoset composite engineered for excellent wear, strength and long-term durability.
- Safety-etched surface provides excellent slip resistance.
- Cross- section of truncated dome showing dimensions.
- Perimeter beveled-edge provides safe transition for pedestrians.
- Innovative safety spars reinforce panel strength and increase traction for pedestrians.
- In-line domes spaced on exact 2.35″ centers (ADA R304.1.2)
- Proprietary PENETRATOR™ concrete anchors do not displace aggregate and ensure optimal bond to substrate without air or moisture pockets. Made from 100% recycled materials and secured with #14 stainless steel square drive screws.
- Exact required detectable warning length.
- Exact required detectable warning width.
