UK sports grounds combine extreme footfall concentrations, strict safety certification requirements, and highly varied surface types — from polished concourse floors to external paving and dressing-room wet rooms. UKAS-accredited testing is part of modern venue compliance.
Sports venues face extreme matchday footfall concentrated in minutes. Concourses, entry gates, and stair heads are all subject to peak loading that no other commercial environment sees. Wet weather, spilled drinks, and passenger flow all combine to create a genuinely distinct slip profile.
Stadium concourses and external approach paving are typically specified for durability rather than slip resistance. Over time, wear can reduce PTV significantly. We test regularly in this environment, especially ahead of safety certification reviews.
Sports venue changing rooms and wet areas are high-risk zones, compounded by athletes wearing specialist footwear (studs, spikes) that can polish surfaces quickly. PTV tracking over time is an important part of safety management in professional sports facilities.
Major UK sports venues operate under Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 certification and specific guidance such as the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (the "Green Guide"). Documented slip testing forms part of the evidence base for safety certificate renewals.
Yes. Stadium concourse testing is a core part of our work. Matchday peak footfall combined with wet-weather ingress produces distinct slip profiles that benefit from regular testing.
Documented slip testing forms part of the evidence base for safety certification under the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 and the Green Guide, particularly for concourses, entrances, and stair towers.
Yes — external approach paving, hospitality entrances, and external walkways are all testable using BS 7976 / BS EN 16165.
