A striking mix of glass, precast concrete, operable louvres, and orange blades that extent to the full height of the building, the facade of this unique construction is certainly cutting edge. It exemplifies the dynamic nature of the financial world, the Sydney Harbour milieu and the very core of Amex.

It was only natural that CTA, a worldclass leader in the manufacture and installation of access and mobility tactiles, add their stamp to such a stunning building and to such a celebrated company.

SureSteel tactiles, located at the top and foot of steps leading in and out of the building, not only ensure safety and accessibility, but also enhance the aesthetics of the building. They are a quality product that sit comfortably with the Amex reputation, the design of the building, and the ambiance of the Wharf district.

The CTA SureSteel tactiles installed at the new American Express building feature a stepped side face and a concentric ring top surface, which has secured them an an anti-slip safety rating of R13, as tested by the CSIRO.

They comply with the Building Code of Australia and meet all aspects of the Australian Standard: Design for Access and Mobility - AS1428.4:2002. Manufactured from one solid piece of 316 stainless steel, the tactile head will never detach from the anchoring sprigot.

While the success of American Express rests on their ability to manage risk, there are some things they won't gamble with: stunning, quality engineered CTA tactiles.
