When is Pull Testing Required?
Design Stage – Preliminary / Ultimate Load testing
We provide load testing to a specific rating or to failure. This will establish the specification of fixing required and allow changes to be made before build/installation stage.
Installation Stage – Proof Load testing
After installation and to meet build regulations and specifications, fixings and/or anchors will require mandatory inspection under British Standards 8539 testing by an approved independent contractor. We can fulfil this and attend site at short notice and test a given percentage to ensure design specifications are met.
Result/Outcome
If they pass, we can provide test certificates to allow project sign offs.
How does Pull Testing improve site safety?
Pull testing enhances site safety by ensuring fixings and anchors are secure before they are relied upon.
