Detectable Warning Tiles—Transit Platforms
To meet accessibility and safety code requirements, tactile warning tiles are installed along transit platform edges, providing a detectable warning to passengers.
Comoldco’s advanced compression molding systems allow us to manufacture high-visibility, precision tactile warning tiles with consistent color and dimensional accuracy across long platform runs.
Key advantages include:
- Lightweight yet extremely durable construction
- Water-resistant, non-slip surface
- Resistance to salt and de-icing chemicals
- High wear resistance for daily commuter traffic
The precision required for tactile warning tiles is critical—not only within a single tile, but across hundreds of linear feet. Our modern equipment and expertise allow us to manufacture these components in high volumes while maintaining exacting detail and repeatability.
For harsh winter climates, heating mechanisms can be molded directly into tactile warning tiles, improving passenger safety and reducing winter maintenance costs.

Transit Boarding Ramps
The use of FRP composites in transit boarding ramps has significantly reduced ramp weight while increasing load capacity—making them ideal for both portable and permanent applications.
FRP composite boarding ramps are commonly used:
- To bridge gaps between trains and elevated platforms
- In emergency situations for passenger movement between cars
- To permanently raise concrete platforms to door level
Compared to traditional materials, thermoset composite ramps offer lower maintenance requirements, improved durability, and long-term performance in demanding transit environments.
