Slip resistance testing
at London City.

London City (LCY) handles 3.5 million (2024) and is operated by London City Airport Limited. London City is the UK's premier business-traveller airport, with a single short runway, exclusively narrow-body operations, and a uniquely time-pressured passenger profile — the operational tempo and floor-finish vocabulary differ sharply from typical leisure airports.

Surfaces tested at London City

The flooring vocabulary at London City.

Every airport runs its own combination of terminal, transit, baggage and apron finishes. Knowing what's actually on the ground at London City means we calibrate our testing scope and pricing precisely — no over-engineering, no missed exposure.

  1. 01

    Central terminal — polished porcelain in the airside departure zone, terrazzo in arrivals

  2. 02

    Airside apron — concrete with limited fuel-spill exposure due to narrow-body-only operations

  3. 03

    Jet bridges — composite anti-slip flooring throughout

London City-specific risk patterns

What makes London City testing different.

Generic slip-test providers treat every airport the same. London City's operational profile creates exposure patterns that need specific evidence — not a templated default.

Time-pressured business-traveller flow

London City's signature 20-minute arrival-to-gate flow means slip incidents typically affect rushing business travellers — wet-shoe carry-on from outside conditions creates concentrated PTV risk in the first 5m of terminal.

Riverside dampness exposure

The airport's riverside Royal Docks location creates higher than average humidity exposure on outdoor terraces and walkway zones — moss and lichen risk on outdoor surfaces year-round.

DLR interchange transition

The Docklands Light Railway interchange brings rolling-luggage traffic from station polished-concrete onto terminal porcelain — transition-zone PTV is a specific testing brief.
