/ 02Plymouth pavement slip testing context

Why Plymouth pavement slip testing matters.

Plymouth pavements face the same fundamental pendulum slip test exposures as every UK city — granite-sett polish, moss and lichen biological growth, autumn leaf-fall, rocking paving slabs, tactile paving wear at controlled crossings — but the South West & Wales weather profile and operational pattern shape the priority order. A continuous slip testing record across the Plymouth pavement estate is the strongest single defence in any subsequent personal injury claim under the Highways Act.
