All three factors make it a natural focus for slip resistance testing.
Galway, with approximately 85,000 in the city and 260,000 across the county, is a significant market for slip resistance testing. The cultural capital of the West, Galway combines a busy tourism sector with a growing tech and medtech cluster — and a lot of wet weather. All three factors make it a natural focus for slip resistance testing.
We travel to Galway 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 Galway client base spans public sector, hospitality, retail, industrial and legal work. The sectors we most regularly test in County Galway include:
Galway is one of the wettest cities in Ireland, averaging over 220 rainy days a year. This exposes entrance floors, outdoor paving, stone steps and decking to far more wet-weather stress than cities further east — and dramatically increases the variance between dry and wet PTV values.
We tested a Galway city-centre hotel following two separate slip incidents in the entrance lobby within six weeks. Dry PTV was 44 — well within the safe range. Wet PTV was 22 — dangerously low. The solution was not to replace the floor but to upgrade the entrance matting system, which we documented in the accredited report.
Our Galway coverage extends to: Galway City, Salthill, Oranmore, Tuam, Athenry and Connemara. Sites outside these areas can usually still be covered — please get in touch with a postcode and we will confirm.

ContractYes. We regularly travel to Clifden, Oughterard, Roundstone and the Connemara National Park area. Distance-based surcharges are kept to a minimum by batching sites on the same route.
Yes — we are experienced in the Galway medtech cluster. Production floors, R&D labs and gowning areas all have different slip requirements, and we test each accordingly.
Outdoor paving is one of our specialisms. Galway\’s combination of sea spray, rain and algae growth on stone makes promenade testing particularly valuable for local authority and hotel clients.
