Sector profile. Modern distribution centres — particularly e-commerce fulfilment formats with high pick-density, conveyor automation, and 24-hour shift patterns — present slip-test brief patterns that traditional warehouse protocols miss. Conveyor underbelly zones, robot-pick floor specifications, and extreme operative-density create exposure patterns evolving year-on-year as DC formats evolve.
Regional industrial cluster. The Midlands is a key region for distribution centres activity — covering the West Midlands metropolitan county, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Northamptonshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Lincolnshire — including DIRFT, Hams Hall, the East Midlands Freeport, the South Yorkshire Investment Zone, the West Midlands Investment Zone, and the Stoke ceramics cluster.
Every distribution centres site in the Midlands has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol.
Power-floated concrete with high-build polyurethane topcoatthe dominant DC base finish
Anti-slip aggregate-keyed coatings at goods-in/goods-out thresholdsthe highest-incident zones in most DCs
Resin-coated concrete in conveyor and automation zoneswhere hydraulic and grease contamination accumulates
