The Speed Pad is a scrapped Engineer building that was supposed to grant temporary speed boost effect[1] to any teammate player who touched it. This building would be cheaper than standard Teleporter at 25 metal[2] and would also be influenced by Teleporter build modifiers, such as the Eureka Effect[3]. It costs 100 metal to upgrade[4]. Upgrade level would affect recharge time[5] and effect duration[6]:
This building was referenced in a modification to the tf/scripts/game_sounds_weapons.txt
file in the December 8, 2014 Patch. The following code was added to the file:

"channel" "CHAN_STATIC"
"volume" "1.0"

"wave" ")weapons/speed_pad.wav"
}
