PART 1 GENERAL

1. related documents

1. Drawings and general provisions of Contract, including General and Special Conditions and Division 1 Specifications Section, apply to this Section.

B. DESCRIPTION

1. This Section specifies furnishing and installing cast-in-place tactile panel modules where indicated.

3. SUBMITTALS

1. Product Data: Submit manufacturer’s literature describing products, installation procedures and routine maintenance.
2. Samples for Verification Purposes: Submit three (3) samples of full cast-in-place tactile panels of
   the kind proposed for use.
3. Shop drawings are required for products specified showing fabrication details; composite structural system; plans of panel placement including joints, and material to be used as well as outlining installation materials and procedure.

   1. Panel pattern shall be designed and shown between existing expansion joints with panel rib dimension used for the cut size of panels.
4. Material Test Reports: Submit test reports from qualified independent testing laboratory indicating
   that materials proposed for use are in compliance with requirements and meet the properties indicated. All test reports shall be conducted on a cast-in-place tactile panel system as certified by a qualified independent testing laboratory.
5. Maintenance Instructions: Submit copies of manufacturer’s specified maintenance practices for each type of tactile panel and accessory as required.

4. QUALITY ASSURANCE

1. Provide cast-in-place tactile panels and accessories as produced by a single manufacturer.
2. Installer’s Qualifications: Engage an experienced Installer certified in writing by tactile manufacturer as qualified for installation, who has successfully completed tile installations similar in material, design, and extent to that indicated for Project. Manufacturer’s supervisor shall be present at initial pour.
3. 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) or through equivalent facilitation.
4. Vitrified Polymer Composite (VPC) cast-in-place panels shall be an epoxy polymer composition with an ultra violet coating employing aluminum oxide particles in the truncated domes:

   1. Water Absorption of Tile when tested by ASTM-D 570 not to exceed 0.35%.
   2. Slip Resistance of Tile when tested by ASTM-C 1028 the combined wet/dry static coefficient of friction not to be less than 0.80.
   3. Compressive Strength of tile when tested by ASTM-D 695-91 not to be less than 18,000 psi.
   4. Tensile Strength of Tile when tested by ASTM-D 638-91 not to be less than 10,000 psi.
   5. Flexural Strength of Tile when tested by ASTM - C293-94 not to be less than 24,000 psi.
   6. Chemical Stain Resistance of Tile when tested by ASTM-D 543-87 to withstand without discoloration or staining - 1% hydrochloric acid, urine, calcium chloride, stamp pad ink, gum and red aerosol paint.
   7. Abrasive Wear of Tile when tested by BYK - Gardner Tester ASTM-D 2486* with reciprocating linear motion of 37 ± cycles per minute over a 10" travel. The abrasive medium, a 40 grit Norton Metallite sand paper, to be fixed and leveled to a holder. The combined mass of the sled, weight and wood block to be 3.2 lb. Average wear depth shall not exceed 0.030 after 1000 abrasion cycles measured on the top surface of the dome representing the average of three measurement locations per sample.
   8. Fire Resistance: When tested to ASTM E84 flame spread be less than 25.
   9. Gardner Impact to geometry "GE" of the standard when tested by ASTM-D 5420-93 to have a mean failure energy expressed as a function of specimen thickness of not less than 450 in. 1bf/in. A failure is noted if a hairline fracture is visible in the specimen.
   10. Accelerated Weathering of Tile when tested by ASTM-G26-95 for 2000 hours shall exhibit the following result - no deterioration, fading or chalking of surface of tile.
5. Vitrified Polymer Composite (VPC) Cast-In-Place Panels embedded in concrete shall meet or exceed the following test criteria:
