Haptix, a brand of CMT Group, combines accessibility expertise with a strong foundation in civil construction to deliver high-quality safety solutions nationwide.
We’re making New Zealand’s top new infrastructure safer for everyone.
Set to open in 2025, Parakiore Recreation and Sport Centre (Metro Sport) will be New Zealand’s largest aquatic and indoor recreation venue, designed to welcome people of all ages and abilities.
The facility spans 32,000m² and includes a 50-metre competition pool, diving pool, hydroslides, gym, café, sauna, and seating for thousands of spectators.
Our Haptix team have been busy making this state-of-the-art facility more accessible through the installation of stainless steel tactile indicators across the site.
We’ve installed pads of tactile indicators along potential hazards all over the facility, from crossings, entry ways, stairs, ramps and more. The combination of tactile studs, tactile bars and and tactile pavers are strategically designed and placed to make the space easy to navigate for everyone in the blind low vision community. We even supplied stair nosings to help reduce slips, trips and stair damage.
