Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is an embedment tile for producing a tactilely detectable surface in concrete or asphalt, comprising a tile member substantially planar in form, having a pattern of upwardly extending projections on its upper surface forming a tactilely detectable pattern (e.g., warning, way-finder, decorative or other), and, two or more cross beams on the lower surface of the tile member, with hollow channels and end openings, and optionally also with several apertures enabling flow of air and concrete or asphalt in and around the cross beams to facilitate rapid installation. The embedment tile may further consist of support members which project down further than the cross beams and function for support and to interlock the embedment tile to the concrete or asphalt once they set and harden. Methods for installing the tile are also disclosed.
