New CAD / CSI Details and Specs for Federal ADA Mandates Now Available for Full Public Domain Distribution
(PRWEB) September 28, 2004 -- For several years now the design standards for
detectable warnings (Braille for the feet) used for making pedestrian ways at
ramps and vehicular way transitions safer for blind and visually impaired
persons have been in a state of flux. The new design standards are now complete
and new CAD / CSI and PDF formatted files are finally available for public
domain use for all construction projects.
For the purpose of
compliance with new ADA mandates, Vanguard ADA Systems of America announces
today that it has fully released for download all architectural details for
current public right of way Americans w/Disabilities Act/DOT/FHWA Detectable
Warning applications/installations in CAD format, in both *.DWG and *.DXF at
it’s website (www.VanguardOnline.com).
Also available on Vanguards
website are these same details in PDF format for those agencies not using CAD
software for their specifications and design systems.
Due to changes in
the federal regulations, architectural firms, general contractors, public
agencies and installers nationwide have been waiting for these important final
drafts to be released to eliminate the confusion as to approved standards. These
drawings are now available for full public use and download. In addition, full
installation and application/CSI specifications are available for download in
PDF as well as Microsoft Word format.
All drawings and specifications are
public domain properties and all parties are free to use and disperse among all
agencies.
