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.
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.
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.
Stair nosings are a disproportionate slip-incident source. Transitions from one flooring type to another (tile to carpet, stone to vinyl) create PTV discontinuities.
ScotRail platforms, Glasgow Subway stations, and airside transit corridors all face winter wet-weather and salt-ingress conditions.
Coach interchange paving, taxi ranks, and pedestrian interfaces are subject to severe weather degradation.
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.
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.
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.
