TripStop S Profile
TripStop S Profile series is a sidewalk hinge joint system that is designed to allow sidewalk slabs to move uniformly with tree root growth, soil movement and thermal expansion without creating a trip hazard. This profile is light weight and can be easily abutted to an existing paving structure ready for future expansion. The service life of the sidewalk is extended, resulting in less waste from construction activity and fewer greenhouse gas emissions from concrete production and service vehicles. TripStop is the long-term solution for city sidewalk maintenance. It is a preventative strategy whenever dangerous sidewalks need to be replaced; it minimizes tripping injuries and potential legal liability. TripStop is an environmentally green product that is recyclable and preserves urban trees.
The TripStop TS75S Profile was the first of the new generation products off the line. Featuring a compact design and lightweight construction, the TS75S is suitable for any 3 inch thick path installation. The unique patented design allows for lift and fall of the path without displacing or cracking due to soil movement and/or tree root invasion.
The light construction of 3 inch thick concrete paths often means that the paths are more susceptible to being damaged by vehicles. They are generally only suitable for light pedestrian usage where there is no vehicle interaction, such as pedestrian laneways and bike tracks.
All TripStop products come as a complete product set, including TripStop Pegs and Wedges. Every order includes an appropriate amount of Pegs and Wedges to perform the full installation.
The TripStop TS100S Profile is currently the most popular of the new generation products off the line. The unique patented design of the TS100S allows for lift and fall of the path without displacing or cracking due to soil movement and/or tree root invasion.
The 4 inch profile is the most commonly used today. The 4 inch thickness of the concrete provides the greatest balance between economy and longevity, being less likely to crack when light vehicles drive over it. Whilst it is not designed for heavy use, it will sustain light usage, such as in driveways and crossovers.
The TripStop TS125S Profile is perfect for installations where heavy traffic is a consideration. The unique patented design of the TS125S allows for lift and fall of the path without displacing or cracking due to soil movement and/or tree root invasion.
The 5 inch profile is regularly specified in areas where there are high traffic volumes, or where there is medium use of heavy vehicles. The 5 inch thickness of the concrete provides a much higher protection rating against cracking and damage from traffic, whilst the added benefit of TripStop will ensure that any soil movement or tree root invasion is accounted for.
The TripStop TS150S Profile is the big brother of the next generation TripStop range. The unique patented design of the TS150S allows for lift and fall of the path without displacing or cracking due to soil movement and/or tree root invasion.
The 6 inch profile is generally used where longevity is a must, particularly where heavy vehicle use comes into play. The 6 inch thickness of the concrete provides an excellent protection rating against cracking and damage from traffic and ensures minimal movement over time. Adding TripStop to these installations ensures the highest level of protection for the installation.
