Rowan have partnered with Trinity College Dublin to undertake a research and development program to increase knowledge of Wet Slip Resistance of Various Surfaces over Time. Rowan in conjunction with Trinity College Dublin will undertake research in order to develop a model to predict the wet slip resistance of various surfaces over time. Rowan also want to deepen understanding of the relationship between various slip assessment equipment in order to correlate results between them.

Rowan wish to use this research to help prevent accidents by increasing understanding of the factors involved in slips and how they arise.
