Anchor and Catenary Wire Testing for Festival Decorations (As specified within the ILP ‘County Surveyors Society’ Code of Practice for the Installation, Operation and Removal of Seasonal Decorations) look great, make everyone feel good and are up and illuminated, in all weathers, during the festive season.
Suspended between buildings at variable heights, swinging in often high winds and likely to be topped by snow and ice. 

But....What happens if they fall? There have been occurrences of festive lights displays coming loose from buildings, injuring pedestrians and resulting in lengthy and costly investigations by the Health & Safety Executive.
You need to minimise the risk. For instance fixings in the form of eyebolts and catenary wires should to be tested to ensure the safety of displays.

We can help to keep pedestrians safe by carrying out the required
testing using our experienced technicians and calobrated
load test equipment to give an assessment of the fixing and
substrate material.

And it’s not just for Festival Decorations, we can help with:

  • Stud Protections
  • Threaded Inserts
  • Eyebolts for Safety Harnesses
  • Scaffold Ring Bolts
  • Remediation Wall Ties
  • Bolts on Steel Frame Buildings
  • Holding Down Bolts
