Keyline has become the first and only provider of civil engineering and specialist products to the UK rail sector to offer a new tactile anti-slip system. Under the main supplier deal with Tactile Antislip Systems & Services Ltd (TASS Ltd), Keyline will supply Bumpeez, a groundbreaking solution that is designed to enhance platform safety, simplify installation and minimise environmental impact.
Bumpeez is an innovative stainless steel tactile stud with colour contrasting anti-slip resin that provides a compliant tactile for platform edges that can be quickly and efficiently installed. The London Underground and Network Rail approved solution is available in any RAL colour as well as metallic and luminous options, and can be installed without drilling, using an adhesive weld system, to virtually any surface including natural stones, porcelains, ceramics, vinyls, wood, glass, concrete and metals.
The solution removes the need for platform edge warning paving, reducing possession times and associated disruption to help save both time and costs. Furthermore, it uses two-thirds less material than traditional solutions and can be installed without the need for power tools, making it the most environmentally responsible solution of its kind available in the marketplace.
Ken Quinn, Managing Director at Tactile Antislip Systems & Services Ltd commented: “Keyline is the leading provider of materials and products to the rail sector making them the ideal partner for our Bumpeez solution. The award-winning, anti-slip studs incorporate unique features and have been designed to revolutionise the safety alert tactile industry, so provides significant opportunities within the marketplace for both organisations.”
Richard Wade, Rail Sector Manager at Keyline said: “We are working closely with industry-leading and like-minded businesses such as TASS Ltd to secure the latest and most innovative products and technologies available. This will ensure we are best placed to meet the needs of contractors working in the rail sector to help reduce costs, minimise disruption and ultimately boost operational performance.”
