  • Detectable warning plate

    Abstract: A detectable warning plate having integrally cast lugs. The lugs may extend from the undersurface of the plate so that they can be entrapped within concrete during installation. The plate may define a vent hole through the plate above each lug to permit air to escape from beneath the dome plate during installation. The plate may include one or more integral support ribs that extend downwardly from the plate. The support ribs may extend around the plate near the periphery. The lugs may be extensions of the support ribs.
