Airport & Transport
Slip Testing.

Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Prestwick, Inverness, and Scotland’s regional airports combined with ScotRail, subway, and bus networks present extreme slip-testing challenges. Peak footfall, severe weather ingress, and 24-hour operations all demand disciplined testing programmes.

Risk profile

Where slips
actually happen.

Every sector has distinct slip risk zones. Scottish airport & transport premises share these common high-risk patterns — where UKAS-accredited testing delivers the most measurable safety and claims-defence value.

ZONE/01

Terminal concourses and check-in zones

Wet-weather ingress combined with wheeled luggage and high footfall produces concentrated slip risk. Airport concourses frequently test below PTV 36 wet during Scottish winter conditions.

ZONE/02

Stairs, escalators, and transition zones

Stair nosings are a disproportionate slip-incident source. Transitions from one flooring type to another (tile to carpet, stone to vinyl) create PTV discontinuities.

ZONE/03

Platforms, transit tubes, and airside zones

ScotRail platforms, Glasgow Subway stations, and airside transit corridors all face winter wet-weather and salt-ingress conditions.

ZONE/04

External paving and coach interchanges

Coach interchange paving, taxi ranks, and pedestrian interfaces are subject to severe weather degradation.

FAQ

Questions from
Scottish airport & transport operators.

Do you attend airside areas at Scottish airports?

Yes — subject to airport security clearance. We have experience working within airside and landside boundaries at several UK airports and can co-ordinate pass arrangements and escort requirements with airport operations.

Can testing be done during operational hours?

Yes. Pendulum testing is fast and non-disruptive. For Scottish transport hubs we work around passenger flow, schedule around peak times, and co-ordinate with operations control.

How often should a Scottish airport or station be tested?

Annual minimum, bi-annual recommended for terminal entrance zones. Scottish winter conditions create a distinct PTV profile and winter testing produces the worst-case evidence that supports HSE and insurance documentation.
