Scottish industrial, oil-and-gas, marine, and utilities sectors all use metal walkways, platforms, and gratings. Galvanised, painted, and powder-coated finishes all produce distinct PTV profiles, especially in wet or oily conditions.
Metal surface slip performance varies enormously with finish and contamination. Identical chequer-plate patterns can produce dramatically different PTV with different coatings, wear states, or surface contamination.
We test metal floor products both in our UKAS ISO 17025 accredited laboratory (Schedule 7933) and in situ across Scottish commercial premises. Laboratory pre-testing is typically the most cost-effective approach for specification; in-situ testing is used for post-installation verification, annual compliance monitoring, and forensic post-incident evidence.
Typical turnaround: 48 hours from sample receipt (laboratory) or 48 hours from site attendance (in-situ). All testing issues a full UKAS-accredited certificate suitable for Scottish specification, tender, building-control, insurance, and litigation purposes.
Substantially. Identical chequer-plate patterns with galvanised, painted, or powder-coated finishes can produce dramatically different PTV values.
Yes — elevated metal walkways are routinely tested across Scottish oil and gas, utility, and industrial sites. Slip events here are high-consequence, so documentation is especially valuable.
Yes — for industrial environments we can test with specific contaminants (oil, grease, lubricants) rather than only water.
