Intertile Research is a specialist tiling system and slip resistance consultancy. We chose NOT to have a website and don't regret it. We chose to remain small and focused. We don't apologise for turning down work offers. We prefer to push the boundaries of knowledge to benefit the public. As an expert consultant, my paramount duty is to the courts, and not to the party that retains me.

Richard worked on several diverse R&D projects, industrial problems and building analytics. He established the slip resistance laboratory and took a holistic approach to understanding the causes of pedestrian slips and falls. He was responsible for matters relating to ceramic tiles, natural and reconstituted stone, architectural terracotta, and ceramic tiling adhesives. He made several contributions to the understanding of the differential movement of tiling systems and moisture expansion determinations, as well as the study of the in-service performance of tiling system components.

Richard was a guest worker at CSIRO using their facilities for special projects involving plasma dissociated zirconia and its use in ceramic pigments and refractories.

Richard was a guest worker at CSIRO utilising their facilities to understand the fired performance characteristics of clay resources, and how best to formulate brick bodies to minimise in-service moisture expansion.
