Moving walkway inspection

Moving walkway inspection

Moving walkway inspection

The moving walkway is a critical component of modern transportation infrastructure, providing an efficient and safe means of passenger transport in airports, shopping malls, train stations, and other public spaces. Ensuring the safety and reliability of these walkways is paramount to prevent accidents and injuries. Eurolab provides comprehensive inspection services for moving walkways that adhere strictly to international standards such as ISO 18092, ensuring compliance with local regulations.

Our team of experts conducts detailed inspections using advanced equipment and methodologies that cover all critical aspects of a moving walkway's design, construction, operation, and maintenance. This includes checking the following components:

  • Pedestrian area dimensions
  • Tread surface integrity and slip resistance
  • Speed and acceleration parameters
  • Emergency stop systems
  • Handrail alignment and synchronization with the moving walkway

The inspection process begins with a thorough review of the walkway's technical documentation. This includes design drawings, installation manuals, and any relevant construction permits or approvals. Subsequently, on-site evaluations are conducted to verify that all components meet the specified standards.

During these evaluations, we pay close attention to potential hazards such as uneven tread surfaces, improper handrail alignment, or inadequate speed control mechanisms. Our inspectors use specialized tools like laser measurement devices and high-definition cameras to capture detailed images of the walkway's condition. These visual records serve as evidence for any discrepancies found during the inspection.

After completing all physical checks, our team compiles a comprehensive report detailing their findings. This document includes recommendations for necessary repairs or adjustments based on identified issues. Compliance with international standards is verified through adherence to ISO 18092 requirements.

Our moving walkway inspections are designed not only for safety but also for enhancing customer experience by ensuring smooth and efficient operation of these facilities. By partnering with Eurolab, businesses can rest assured knowing that their moving walkways meet the highest quality standards while remaining in full compliance with applicable regulations.
