Part 3 Execution
3.01 Installation
A. Isolate work area by using barricades or cones to block off the work area from pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Consult with local governmental agency or other standard to be certain safety guidelines are followed.
B. Before pouring concrete determine the layout of tiles.
C. Pour and finish concrete according to the drawings and specifications. Check the slope of the concrete with an electronic level to assure compliance.
D. Our replaceable Detectiles use a replaceable threaded anchor system. When using the replaceable concrete anchor system firmly attach concrete anchoring system securely to Detectile before placement.
E. Trace the approximate location of the tiles and remove the approprite thickness of concrete.
F. Place the tile in the void created by applying downward pressure and twisting the tile to set. The tile should be level with the surrounding concrete. Place the remaining tiles flush to the previous using the same downward twisting method.
G. Float surface of concrete surrounding tiles making sure that any concrete displaced by the tiles is removed and the surface is finished in a manner that the tile becomes an integral part of the sidewalk and does not disturb the uniform slope achieved before placement.
H. Recheck slope to confirm that the installation of the tiles has not disturbed the slope.
I. Carefully finish the edges, and clean of any concrete that has spilled during the installation
J. Protect area from pedestrian and vehicular traffic until the concrete has cured sufficiently.
Clean by spraying with water
Do not spray or allow setting compounds or other chemicals to interact with Detectiles, use protective barriers to protect Detectiles if such chemicals/compounds are used on surrounding areas.
