Case Study: an apartment complex achieves swimming pool code compliance with Rimkus

an apartment complex confirms pool deck slip resistance in dry and wet conditions with Rimkus

The customer, an apartment complex, faced a challenge after a tenant tragically drowned in its swimming pool and needed an expert evaluation for code compliance. They retained the vendor, Rimkus, for a swimming pool code compliance evaluation, which included slip resistance and lighting assessments.

Rimkus conducted a detailed on-site inspection, performing coefficient of friction tests and acquiring light meter readings. The firm concluded that the swimming pool area was fully compliant with all applicable codes, was slip resistant in both wet and dry conditions, and had adequate lighting. Rimkus provided expert witness testimony at trial to support these findings.
