TACTILE PAVING
Chelmstone’s cautional and directional concrete tactile pavers are fibre reinforced, ensuring strength and durability for any commercial or infrastructure project. Chelmstone's tactile pavers are available in a range of colours and sizes.
TACTILE PAVERS SUPPLIED NATIONALLY
Widely used by local council & transport bodies, our cautional and directional TGSI (Tactile Ground Surface Indicator) pavers are robust and hard wearing.
Our durable concrete tactiles have a compressive strength of 48 mpa. Made from wet-cast high strength concrete mix, they are non-slip as tested to Australian and New Zealand standards. Our Voodoo tactiles are the preferred tactile pavers of the Brisbane City Council. We use CCS oxides in all of our TGSI as they are UV resistant and of superior quality. Chelmstone tactile pavers can be manufactured in any CCS colour.
See our standard colours below.
Chelmstone has supplied tactile pavers to some of Australia's largest infrastructure projects, including;
-
Queensland Rail Station Upgrades, QLD
-
Canberra Metro Light Rail, ACT
-
Brisbane's Cross River Rail Development, QLD
-
Newcastle Light Rail, NSW
- Brisbane RNA Showgrounds Project, QLD
- Arcadia Walk, Noosa Junction, QLD
- Legacy Way, Brisbane, QLD
Canberra Metro Rail utilised Chelmstone's 300 x 300 x 40mm snow cautional tactile pavers, creating a great contrast to the surrounding platform edge.
DOWNLOADABLE INFORMATION
Queensland Rail utilise a range of Chelmstone's Tactile Pavers, particularly the 300 x 300 x 60mm Corn Cautional Tactile Pavers, as seen above, supplied during Queensland Rail's station upgrade program.
Cautional Voodoo Tactile - 300 x 300 x 40mm
Directional Voodoo Tactile - 300 x 300 x 40mm
One of Chelmstone's most popular tactile pavers is the 300 x 300 x 40mm Cautional and Directional TGSI in our Voodoo colour. This is due to the ease in which the colour complies with luminance standards against surrounding areas. The product is a Brisbane City Council preferred product.

TACTILE SPECIFICATIONS
Utilising patented Fibre Reinforcing Technology, Chelmstone's tactile paving offers increased resistance to failure from impact and overloading, increasing their long-term performance and significantly reducing maintenance. Precast concrete pavers are generally used outdoors for new projects. If it's likely that vehicular traffic will be in contact with the tactiles, high strength precast concrete pavers are a robust solution.
Warning or Cautional Tactile Indicators, notify those with a visual impairment of a nearby hazard such as stairs or the edge of a train platform.

TACTILE LUMINANCE VALUES
Luminance is a measure of brightness at a particular light-reflecting point on a surface. Luminance for hazard indicators must be in accordance with the Australian Standards for access and mobility, AS 1428.1. Using coloured concrete, such as in our TGSI pavers can assist in improving luminance factors.

LUMINANCE CALCULATOR
Enter your lowest wet or dry luminance reflective value (LRV) first into the luminance calculator, followed by your corresponding higher wet or dry luminance reflective value (LRV) next. If the luminance contrast achieved is great than 30%, the colours are suitably integrated and contrast minimums have been achieved.
