Who We Test in Carlow

Our Carlow client base spans public sector, hospitality, retail, industrial and legal work. The sectors we most regularly test in County Carlow include:

What Makes Carlow Different

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.

Areas We Cover Around Carlow

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.
