RESEARCH &
DEVELOPMENT
We believe that the only
way to maintain our status within the industry is to continuously
research and improve both our products and expertise.
We invest vast
amounts of both time and resources studying, investigating and
improving how we can improve upon what we already offer and this is
passed directly to our clients.
Whilst we have a small
in-house laboratory and “on farm” test plots at our own
headquarters, we also carry out on-site research in conjunction
with our clients and utilise the services of specific industry
laboratories.
We maintain a very high
standard of quality control, which encompasses all aspects, from
design, through to materials for both construction and production,
manufacturing facilities and construction techniques, installation,
maintenance and on-going reporting.
In conjunction
with Equine Surface Analysis we have developed a comprehensive
analysis system to deconstruct our surfaces after installation,
allowing us to report to our clients on both the surface as well as
all constituent parts, utilising such methods of testing
as:
• %
TPH determination
• Congeal
point determination
• Particle
size distribution analysis of quartz
• Microscopy
analysis of extracted components
• Monitoring
for key chemical degradation mechanism in polymeric
components
We believe that we
continually improve both our surfaces and services and our aim is
to provide safe, consistent surfaces for equine
athletes.
Our research and
development obviously involves many different sections of
the equine industry and we are more than happy to discuss
our work and see how we can move forward with
other sectors of the industry.
