First, here is a tweet I have put out giving a drawing on cutting in in more detail:<br /><br />https://twitter.com/RantyHighwayman/status/1502958026805948422?s=20&t=Z-SQOV8TNSLMLJ6IzTzNGQ<br /><br />The problem now is, that you want to avoid folding the paving. Here's a good example:<br /><br />https://goo.gl/maps/KgdgDZ1UCwkbVBR28<br /><br />What they have done is set out from the dropped kerb backwards into the path. As you look at it, the corner on the left is a bit lower than the one on the right. It's an asphalt path so once the tactiles are in the surfacing just goes up to them. It is really tricky to get right though!The Ranty Highwaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361350433158148025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-88597429239834016332022-03-09T18:16:18.352+00:002022-03-09T18:16:18.352+00:00w using my partner fone here but I am a groundwork...w using my partner fone here but I am a groundworker and install many tactile crossings , different councils different specs, but I find a crossing on a straight kerb line simple drop kerb then usually 2 6x5 kerbs 1200 across before another drop kerb 1200 for 3x 400 x 400 tactiles usually 1200 platform 3x3 full slabs simple following crossfall of path for level but many are on radius like in the picture I believe the contractor folded the slab (cut on 45 angle ) as the level changes at the drop kerb, he had to fold them to suit drop kerb, in your revised drawing purple linesyou have changed the cuts ( I agree should not have small cuts) but you have stopped drawing onthe paving before the folded slabs , most councils want paving full width of crossing and it's at the droppers the slabs are folded due to the change the level , I have installed paving where on radius so have to follow radius kerbs level and I set up line for top of paving edging kerb to 10x5 kerb . I pull a line from path level to kerb level ,( I make sure 1200 x1200 3x3 slab platform before any cuts,) but laying this ways mean slabs are not folded and have consistent full but they lower than drop kerb ( level right at 6x5 and at 10x5) some councils don't accept this the only way I know to get round this is too fold ( cut at 45) but many councils won't accept this anymore , what is the solution to this , I am currently on a site kerbng and there will be 5 crossing to go in so 10 lots of paving and I want them to be correct first time , any ideas or advise please , <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532303482095047827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-75071662803655088332017-01-26T10:01:45.762+00:002017-01-26T10:01:45.762+00:00ISO 23599 makes for some good reading, and helps t...ISO 23599 makes for some good reading, and helps to specify exactly what contrast is. I understand the DfT have a separate team working on the 'new' revised guidance - hopefully they make use of it. Ryannoreply@blogger.com
