PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION
A. During all surface preparation and installation procedures, ensure adequate safety guidelines
are in place and that they are in accordance with the applicable industry and government
standards.
B. The specifications and related materials shall be in strict accordance with the contract
documents and the guidelines set by their respective manufacturers. Contact manufacturer
for asphalt applications.
C. Coordinate with the Contractor or Engineer to ensure that the surfaces being prepared and
fabricated to receive the plates are constructed correctly and adequately for plate
installation. Review manufacturer and contract drawings with the Contractor prior to the
construction and refer any and all discrepancies to the Engineer.
D. The physical characteristics of the concrete shall be consistent with the contract
specifications while maintaining a slump range of 3-4 inches to permit solid placement of the
Cast Iron Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Indicator Plates.
E. When preparing to set the plate, ensure that the area to receive the plates has been finished
to its final elevation. The concrete shall be poured and finished true and smooth to the
required dimensions and slope prior to the plate placement. Vents in the plate allow air and
displaced concrete to escape during the installation process.
F. Lift the Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Indicator plate and gently place into position onto
the wet concrete. The plate shall be placed true and square to the curb edge in accordance
with the contract drawings. Press into the concrete. The Cast Iron Detectable/Tactile Warning
Surface Indicator Plates shall be tamped into the fresh concrete to ensure that the field level
of the plate is flush to the adjacent concrete surface.
G. Immediately after placement, the plate elevation is to be checked to adjacent concrete, and
the concrete around the perimeter of the tile should be finished. The elevation and slope
should be set consistent with contract drawings to permit water drainage to curb as the design
dictates. Ensure that the field surface of the plate is flush with the surrounding concrete and
back of curb so that no ponding is possible on the plate at the back side of curb, and to
eliminate tripping hazards between adjacent finishes.

H. While concrete is workable, create a 1/4” concrete-free recess around the perimeter of the
plate. Use a 3/8” radius edging tool to create a finished edge of concrete, then a steel trowel
shall be used to finish the concrete around the plate’s perimeter, flush to the field level of the
plate.
I. Clean the surface of the tile of any concrete that has protruded from the vent holes.
J. During and after the Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Indicator Plate installation and the
concrete curing stage, it is imperative that there is no walking, leaning or external force
placed on the plate that may rock the plate causing a void between the underside of
Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Indicator Plate and concrete.
K. Following Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Indicator Plate placement, review installation
tolerances to contract drawings and adjust plate before the concrete sets.
L. Following the concrete curing stage, a soft brass wire brush will clean the residue
without damage to the plate surface.
3.2 PROTECTION AND MAINTENANCE
A. Protect plates against damage during construction period to comply with
Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Indicator plate manufacturer’s specification.
B. Protect plates against damage from rolling loads following installation by covering with
plywood or hardwood.
C. Comply with manufacturer’s maintenance manual for cleaning and maintaining plate surface.
It is recommended to perform annual inspections for safety and plate integrity.
