Creating a Tactile Route Handover Map

BULDX product guides2 min read

A tactile-route handover map should identify the installed functions and locations in a form the operator can maintain. An unmarked product brochure does not show where route continuity needs to be preserved.

APPLICATION ILLUSTRATIONAI-generated application illustration. A new visual concept, not a completed BULDX project or an approved installation drawing.

Selection considerations

Use the final approved floor plan to mark directional runs, warning areas and relevant interfaces. Link each zone to its exact component code and accepted installation detail. Keep the design reference visible so a future repair can be reviewed against its original purpose.

Attach the relevant inspections, supplied maintenance instructions and compatible spare references. Record any accepted site variation with the responsible approval. Do not create missing design information from photographs of the installed floor.

Review the map with facility staff and explain how replacements and route changes will be recorded. Retain earlier revisions as history while identifying the current layout. When doors, controls or circulation change, arrange the appropriate route reassessment before modifying the tactile components.

Before you specify or order

  • Map installed tactile functions
  • Link zones to codes and design references
  • Retain accepted variations
  • Update approved route changes

Common question

Is an installation photograph enough for route handover?

No. Add the approved map, component identities and relevant design and maintenance records.
