Barrier Testing

We test barriers to BS 6180:2011 – Barriers in and about buildings: Code of Practice. Many tenders now require proof of barrier testing to confirm their safety and suitability. All monitoring of deflections and loads is carried out using calibrated equipment, ensuring high accuracy. This guarantees that no data is overlooked and that reports can be provided to the client promptly.
