Multi-storey car parks are the highest-density slip-risk environment in the UK car-parking sector — and the most demanding pendulum slip test brief. Eight to fifteen decks, helical ramps under continuous traffic, stair-cores and lift-lobbies under wet-shoe carry-in, and a roof deck exposed to the full weather cycle. Multi-storey slip testing programmes must be planned around traffic patterns — not vice versa. Every pendulum slip test point we record on a multi-storey deck is calibrated to the specific surface, contamination profile and incident exposure of that zone.
A complete multi-storey slip testing assessment runs to 80–180 pendulum slip test points across an average 8-deck structure, depending on operator-specific risk register and any incident-driven slip testing priorities.
Slip testing at one bay per 200 sq m as a baseline, with additional pendulum slip test points at column bases, bay-line intersections and any zone with visible wear or fluid-drip patterning.
Pendulum slip test at top, middle and bottom of every ramp run, plus the threshold transitions onto the connecting deck. Slip testing performed at the actual gradient.
Pendulum slip test at top, middle and bottom flight of every stair-core. Tread surface slip tested with slider 96; nosing slip tested separately. Lift-lobby thresholds slip tested as a separate surface category.
Higher-density pendulum slip test point pattern on the roof — every 80 sq m as a slip testing baseline. Summer-baseline and winter-contaminated pendulum slip test visits scheduled separately.
Pendulum slip test on the 6-metre wet-shoe-carry-in zone at every pedestrian entry door, plus the rolled-asphalt or block-paviour transition at vehicle entry points.
Newly-installed thermoplastic anti-slip overlays verified post-installation by pendulum slip test, then retested at 12 months. Cable runout zones slip tested as a pedestrian route.
Large operators with portfolios of 50+ assets across UK city centres. Slip testing programmes typically run annual pendulum slip test baseline plus winter contaminated slip test on roof-deck assets, with dashboard reporting at portfolio level.
City-centre operators with elevated guest-experience expectations and higher-specification finishes. Slip testing programmes typically include enhanced lift-lobby and stair-core pendulum slip test assessment, with same-week slip test reporting on incident-driven retests.
Operators with significant airport and station car park exposure. Out-of-hours slip testing programmes coordinated with rail operating company timetables and airport landside H&S frameworks; pendulum slip test visits scheduled around live train and aircraft operations.
Operators within larger European groups with their own group-level safety reporting standards. Slip testing programmes calibrated to those frameworks — slightly enhanced pendulum slip test documentation pack at no additional cost.
Concession operators with significant local-authority and hospital-trust contracts. Slip testing programmes typically aligned to the underlying landlord's insurance review cycle, with pendulum slip test visits triggered by both the operator's own risk register and the host estate's schedule.
Single-asset operators and small-portfolio independents — typically reactive slip testing post-incident, with growing uptake of annual pendulum slip test programmes following insurer pressure on continuous slip testing evidence records.
A central London operator engaged us for an annual pendulum slip test programme covering 156 slip testing points across 11 decks, two helical ramp runs, four stair-cores and the roof deck. Slip testing visits were scheduled exclusively between 23:00–04:30 to avoid revenue-bay closure during peak occupancy. The pendulum slip test programme identified 14 zones operating below PTV 36 in wet condition — nine related to roof-deck exposure, three to stair-tread nosings, and two to lift-lobby thresholds. All fourteen were treated and re-slip-tested within the same calendar quarter. The operator's slip-incident reportable rate reduced 71% year-on-year — a direct outcome of the continuous slip testing programme.
