Surface Impact Testing

Over 70% of playground injuries are due to falls onto unsafe surfaces. Our precision impact testing uses calibrated triaxle accelerometers to measure G-force and critical fall height, ensuring your surfacing (wood chips, rubber tiles, poured-in-place) meets ASTM F1292 standards for shock absorption.

California’s climate can degrade surfacing materials faster than expected. We test for compaction, displacement, and UV damage, recommending top-ups or replacements before hazards develop. Reports include color-coded hazard maps and compliance certificates.

Why This Can’t Wait:
Sun exposure, rain, and heavy foot traffic silently compromise surfacing—often before visible wear appears. Our lab-grade testing detects early failure risks, preventing costly injuries or lawsuits. For high-traffic playgrounds, we recommend biannual tests, especially with loose-fill materials like wood chips. Trust the only team in California that combines ASTM-certified equipment with real-world data from 500+ playgrounds tested statewide.
