Guardian Tactile Systems ground surface indicators at Murdoch University
Guardian Tactile Systems Pty Ltd wins external installation tender.
Over 5,000 Guardian Polyurethane Tactiles have been installed throughout the
Murdoch University Campus. There is still thousands more tiles to be laid in this ongoing
project as part of Murdoch's DDA Compliance.
Guardian Tactile Systems won the external tender over other types of TGSI's due to CSIRO
testing and rating of their tactiles. The rating certified and stated that Guardian Polyurethane
tactiles have the similar wear resistance as granite.
The warning tactiles assist, students, teachers, staff and visitors to travel the University
grounds and stairways more safely - especially those who are vision impaired. Guardian tactiles
provide a warning to people that they are approaching an impending hazard allowing them time to
make the necessary adjustments to their stance to negotiate the potential risk. When a person is
approaching a set of stairs for example, their feet sense the change in the ground environment
because of the tactiles beneath them and they automatically slow down and exercise caution before
arriving at the stairway.
Guardian Tactile Systems Pty Ltd have also tendered for the internal tactile installation at
Murdoch University and anticipate a successful outcome for their product to be the one of
choice once again.
Murdoch University external stairways made safer with Guardian Tactile installation.
