Detectable warning plates for municipalities

Detectable warning plates

Podotactile plates are used to warn visually impaired pedestrians of hazards. Thanks to their textured surfaces, our tactile plates alert pedestrians to the presence of hazards such as street corners, pedestrian crossings and subway tracks.

Why opt for our detectable warning plates?

Available in a variety of models and sizes to respond to your municipality’s specific requirements: square, rectangular, radius or customized. Since our company was founded nearly 100 years ago, we have honed our expertise in casting parts for municipal markets.

When you call on us to manufacture your podotactile plates, you can count on a custom manufacturing service and on parts made entirely in Quebec to the highest quality standards. Our detectable warning plates will withstand the harshest winter conditions.

Our detectable warning plates comply with accessibility standards for pedestrians and people with reduced mobility. Compliance certificates for material quality are available upon request. Our plates are also made from recycled materials. Think of us for your LEED projects!

Our detectable warning plates,
an invaluable asset for pedestrian safety

Our tactile plates significantly improve safety for pedestrians and visually impaired people in a number of ways.

  • Textured surface

    The textured surface of our detectable warning plates makes it easier to detect imminent danger.
  • Unpainted

    We deliver our tactile plates unpainted to enhance the visual contrast with the surrounding elements.
  • Compliance with ADAAG standards

    Our detectable warning plates comply with the safety requirements of the American Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
  • Non-slip surface

    The non-slip surface allows all pedestrians to walk safely on the tactile plates, even in winter.
  • Made in Quebec

    All our products are made in Quebec to the highest quality standards. We also place great emphasis on customer service at every stage of your project, and even beyond.
