Armor-Deck®’s At-Grade Transit Platforms save time and money, while making train boarding and subway platforms safer, and more accessible for persons of all abilities.
Armor-Deck®’s At Grade Transit Boarding Platform Systems were designed to ease the installation of tactile panels on asphalt platforms. Installed all over the country, at some of the busiest train platforms and subway platforms, our at grade boarding system provides a smooth transition between adjacent surfaces, such as asphalt or pavers, and are used in many conditions that have vehicular loading. Durable, safe and lightweight, Armor-Deck® At Grade Transit Boarding Platforms have revolutionized platform systems.
Armor-Deck®’s At Grade Boarding Platform System reduces overall construction costs and increases the speed of installation. By not requiring the use of heavy machinery, hundreds of linear feet can be installed, in just one day! Additionally, these transit safety products can easily accommodate curved platforms and contour to varying elevations. Precise tolerances are achieved through the integrated tongue and grove construction at panel joints.
These transit platform panels feature truncated domes on the topside of the panel, serving as a detectable warning. The enhanced design of the detectable warning surface provides a safer and more accessible walking surface for the mobility impaired, the elderly and visually impaired individuals. The tactile surface alerts persons with visual impairments of the nearing of the platform edge. The expertly engineered surface provides excellent slip resistance in all conditions.
