Gimi Access was established in [year] in reaction to the increased demand for industry experts in the TGSI field. Since our very beginning, it has been our mission to lead the industry through in-depth knowledge of the correct design, production and installation of Tactile Ground Surface Indicators.
Being TGSI experts allows us to contribute to a society where everyone has access to an unassisted, non-discriminatory means of being mobile in public spaces.
Gimi Access has been working closely with the South African National Council for the Blind (SANCB); Institute for the Blind (lFB), now Kaleidoscope in Worcester; the Guide Dog Association; National Department of Transport (NDoT); the South African Bureau of Standards’ (SABS) TGSI Working Group and Universal Access Consultants.
This collaboration allowed us to share invaluable knowledge and expertise gained from implementing over 20 Tactile-related projects, ranging from Bus Rapid Transit to rural Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) projects throughout South Africa.
Our collaboration with relevant industry authorities, coupled with continuous research on local and international regulations and best practices, enables us to set a service and product-quality benchmark in the South African industry. By keeping up to date with current regulations we can constantly improve the accessibility of buildings, road infrastructure and public transport.
Working with companies that don't have in-depth knowledge of the latest TGSI legislation and industry standards could have severe cost and timing implications on your project.
