We travel to Carlow regularly from our UK laboratory, carrying out on-site BS 7976 pendulum testing, lab sample certification, floor safety audits and expert witness work under the same UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation (Schedule No. 7933) that governs every other job we do. A single accredited report is valid in Irish and UK courts, with insurers, and with the HSA (Republic) or HSE NI (Northern Ireland).
Our Carlow client base spans public sector, hospitality, retail, industrial and legal work. The sectors we most regularly test in County Carlow include:
Carlow\’s riverside regeneration along the Barrow has introduced a lot of new public realm paving — much of it decorative rather than slip-rated. These surfaces look beautiful when specified but can perform poorly when wet, especially in autumn when leaf fall reduces PTV dramatically.
We tested a new Carlow riverside café terrace following staff concerns about slip incidents during autumn trading. Leaf-matter contamination was reducing the wet PTV from 36 to 18 — a clear fail. The client\’s response was a seasonal cleaning regime, weekly testing during autumn, and a documented trigger threshold for closing the terrace.
Our Carlow coverage extends to: Carlow Town, Tullow, Bagenalstown and the M9 corridor. Sites outside these areas can usually still be covered — please get in touch with a postcode and we will confirm.
