Structural Load Testing Services Across the UK and Europe
At STS Group, we specialise in dynamic and static load testing to ensure the safety, performance, and integrity of your structures. Whether you need to test a building, bridge, or any other infrastructure, our expert team offers reliable and accurate load testing services tailored to your needs.
Structural Load Testing is essential for assessing the strength and stability of your structures under various load conditions. Our services include both dynamic and static load testing, providing you with the most comprehensive evaluation of your asset’s load-bearing capacity. From routine inspections to large-scale projects, we can determine key parameters such as safe working load (SWL) and maximum load capacities.
Load Capacity Testing is vital for structures undergoing change or repurposing, ensuring they are fit to withstand new loads and pressures. With our advanced testing equipment and years of experience, STS Group can assess everything from roofs, floors, and walls to complex infrastructure like bridges and stadium barriers.
Serving clients across the UK and Europe, we ensure all testing is carried out to the highest industry standards, using calibrated equipment for precise and dependable results. Whether for new construction, renovation, or routine maintenance, trust STS Group for all your load testing needs.
What is Load Testing?
Load Testing is the process of putting demand on a system or device and measuring its response. Load testing is performed to determine a system's behaviour under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. Values such as Safe Working Load (SWL) and maximum load capacities can be gained from undertaking such load testing.
Range of Load Testing Services
STS-UK carries out a wide range of load testing, from product testing up to full-scale load testing on Infrastructure and Superstructures. A list of such load tests may include, but are not limited to:
- Roofs, Walls, and Floors

- Scaffolding, Access Equipment, and Ladders
- Lifting Equipment (Chains, Lifting Eyes, and Anchors)
- Pull-Out Testing
- Lift Beam Load Testing
- Temporary Edge Protection
- General Retail Load Testing (Shop-Fit, Glazed Wall, Edge Protection)
- Highways Barriers
- Bollards and Posts
- Stadium Barriers
On-Site and Off-Site Load Testing
We can accommodate any product load testing requirement, both on-site and off-site testing. In our UK Laboratory, our standard permanent load frames are capable of loading any item up to 20te in any configuration. For any higher load requirements, or more complex arrangements, our bespoke modular load frames can be set up and are capable of generating loading items in excess of 300te.
Large-Scale Load Testing
Any on-site larger scale load testing can also be undertaken by STS-UK, such as bridge load testing. Common reasons for load testing on structures are; to obtain a Safe Working Load (SWL) if this is an unknown, or to use the structure for another purpose, other than its original intended use.
Expert Testing and Calibration
Specialist Technical Services (U.K) can undertake any load testing with the client's needs in mind, whether to obtain a Safe Working Load (SWL) value, or in conjunction with British, European, and/or International Standards. All testing is carried out using highly accurate and calibrated equipment to ensure that any load and displacement measured, are to a higher calibre.
