Slip Resistance Testing on the London Underground

Delivering accurate, repeatable slip resistance testing to enhance passenger safety across the London Underground.

Project Overview

Hulkro has been engaged by SRC Infrastructure, on behalf of Transport for London (TfL), to carry out slip resistance assessments across the London Underground network. The programme ensures that pedestrian and staff areas meet TfL’s safety requirements by accurately measuring the slip resistance of flooring surfaces in a variety of conditions.

Our team is delivering:

  • Slip resistance testing using a Munro Instruments portable skid resistance tester

  • Assessments under both dry and wet conditions using a 4S (96) contact rubber slider, in line with Rubber and Plastics Research Association specifications

  • Testing in three directions at each location – along the principal axis, and at 90° and 45° angles

  • Multiple readings per test, with an average calculated from the final five results for accuracy

  • Pre-test cleaning to remove debris and dust, ensuring reliable results

Hulkro Construction Slip Resistance Testing

This systematic approach provides TfL with precise, repeatable data to inform safety decisions and maintain compliance across its network. By combining technical accuracy with consistent methodology, Hulkro is helping to ensure safe, accessible travel for millions of passengers each year.
