Playground Inspection
How secure is the playground equipment?
Safety, stability and regular inspections

Trees in climbing forests and high ropes courses

High ropes courses and climbing parks are becoming more and more popular. These are set up in forested or park-like tree stocks and operated primarily as leisure facilities. Compared to checking traffic safety on playground equipment, this is naturally more difficult in forest rope parks with living and growing trees. With our measuring and testing devices, detailed investigations can be carried out in both areas.

IML-RESI Systems

The IML-RESI’s are special instruments to make ‘visible’ interior damages and provide detailed information about wooden poles. That way it is possible to take specific countermeasures in time accidents because of insecure wooden poles can be avoided.

Often, the denudation of the upper soil layers requires big efforts. Therefore, measurements on the soil level are made with a 45° adapter that replaces the excavation around the pole. It’s just this critical zone around the ground line that can provoke failures. The poles are always in contact with wet ground (sand, bark mulch) and therefore they constitute a special danger.

With the attachable 45° adapter it’s possible to examine the critical transition zones of the wooden poles, e. g. the soil level and the screw joints between metal and wooden parts without problems. You can measure directly on the soil level and evaluate the measurement instantly.

High express gardens and climbing forests are becoming increasingly popular. They are built in forested tree populations or in parcs and commonly act as recreational facilities. Of course, the control of the traffic security results more difficult in this high express gardens in forests because the trees are living and growing and not dead like the wood of playground equipment. Our test and measurement instruments are suitable for detailed analyses in both domains.
