Slip Resistance Testing
Slip resistance testing is a vital service that scientifically measures the friction of a floor to assess its safety and prevent slips and falls. Using specialised equipment and adhering to recognised standards like the Australian Standard AS4586, this service provides clients with a detailed report, enabling them to protect people, mitigate financial and legal risks, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and enhance their reputation. It is an essential service for a wide range of industries, including retail, hospitality, industrial, and construction, offering a proactive solution to a common and costly problem.
Moisture Testing
Concrete moisture testing is an essential process to prevent flooring failures caused by excess moisture trapped in a concrete slab. Since flooring and coatings can fail if applied over a damp surface, tests like the highly accurate in-situ humidity (RH) probe test are used to measure moisture levels deep within the concrete. This helps ensure compliance with manufacturer specifications, protecting the longevity of the flooring system. It's a critical step for anyone installing new floors or investigating existing failures.
Film Thickness Testing (Epoxy Coatings)
Film thickness testing is a crucial quality control step for epoxy floor coatings to ensure they are applied correctly for optimal performance. This testing, primarily using non-destructive methods like ultrasonic gauges, measures the coating's thickness without damaging the floor. By checking the wet film thickness during application and the dry film thickness after curing, professionals can verify that the coating meets manufacturer specifications, which is vital for the floor's durability and long-term warranty.
