Polypads® by CTA Australia at Station Pier
An iconic structure in the city of Melbourne, Station Pier, has
recently undergone a facelift. CTA's PolyPad® retro-fit Tactile indicators have
been selected as the product of choice for this historical timepiece.
Doug McGuiness, Asset Engineer with the Port of Melbourne Corporation, said of
the product, "CTA's PolyPad® retro-fit Tactiles were used on the revamp of Station
Pier because of its unique dimensions of 600x900mm. This means that they provide
fewer joints giving a more seamless look to the project."
Station Pier has heritage overlays and even though the code for the disabled takes
precedence over heritage considerations, there is still an effort made to retain an
aesthetic balance between heritage and legal requirements.
"CTA has a good variety of
colours (nine colours in the range) in the PolyPad® Tactiles and white was the colour
we were after, so we went with that."
Doug also mentioned "other criteria included the products flexible nature.
Flexibility was a big consideration as they were being placed over a timber
boardwalk which has some movement to it. We needed a product that could offer
flexibility because of this.
We are very happy with the overall supply and installation service."
