Line Marking Perth

The line marking process involves applying lines and markings to various surfaces, including roads, car parks, and warehouses.

This typically involves planning, preparation of surfaces, selecting appropriate materials, applying markings using stencils or machines, and post-application quality control and maintenance.

We’re confident in our capabilities and offer a workmanship guarantee for every job.

All our operators undergo hours of rigorous training before being allowed to operate the line marking plant and machinery, which are subject to Verification of Competency. This is to ensure the best work standards are achieved at all times.

In the rare event of any errors in our work, we’ll happily remove and correct lines that aren’t up to our rigorous quality standards.

Waterborne Road Marking Paint dries extremely quickly in Perth compared to regular paint. It can dry within 5-15 minutes on a hot, dry day.

In cooler, more humid weather, it will take a little longer, 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the thickness of the application.

Car bays are a minimum of 2.4m wide and typically 5.4m in length to accommodate an average car.

It can be smaller, but it must be labelled a small car bay.

This is in accordance with Australian Standards and specifications.

There are no limits to how big a car bay can be, though a width greater than 3.5m is not recommended, as drivers will likely try to squeeze two cars into one bay.

Once you have line marking installed, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to maintain the longest possible longevity of the markings.

This includes regularly cleaning the surface and repainting areas showing signs of wear or fading.

A shared zone is a yellow-hatched bay, 2.4m x 5.4m, located next to a disabled bay.

It indicates where there needs to be kept clear and provides adequate room to aid people with disabilities entering and exiting their vehicles or a storefront.

It is an Australian standard that every council enforces before approving a new car park or tenancy.

1. The surface was not prepared properly (Poor Adhesion).

Because line marking occurs on the ground, it has a habit of collecting dust, water, and rubbish from the surrounding area. If the surface is not cleaned correctly before marking, it can cause the paint to not adhere to the surface properly. This is especially an issue on concrete surfaces but can happen on any dirty surface.

2. Line marking plant operator error.

Line marking requires focus, attention to detail and a steady hand. We often see lines that are not straight or are incorrectly positioned.

At Delineation Line Marking, our motto is to measure twice and cut once. An experienced machinery operator makes all the difference, which is why we have a rigorous training program. All our operators go through hours and hours of supervision and are subject to Verification of Competency before allowing them to operate line marking plant on their own. If an error does occur, we can remove the lines and repaint them correctly, though it doesn’t happen often.

In Perth, Western Australia, the colours for road markings are based on national guidelines set by the Australian Standards (AS) and are overseen by Main Roads in WA.

The most common colours for road markings in Perth are:

White: Used to show traffic lanes and parking spaces and directional information.
Yellow: Used to indicate no-stopping zones and clear ways, and to highlight safety hazards
Green: Used to show bike lanes and parking areas for specific vehicle types (ie: Electric Vehicles).
Blue/Yellow: Used to indicate disabled parking bays and shared zones.

Road marking colours may vary depending on the location.

Line markings can be removed using specialised equipment such as grinders or pressure washers.

However, it is essential to note that this process can be labour-intensive and may cause damage to the underlying surface.

Regular maintenance ensures that your line markings remain visible and effective.

This can include regular cleaning, repainting, and repairs as needed.

Additionally, protective coatings can be applied over the markings to extend their life and protect against wear and tear.

During the line marking process, it is crucial to take necessary safety measures, such as providing proper personal protective equipment, setting up appropriate traffic control, and ensuring that the work zone is clearly marked.

Additionally, it is essential to ensure that the worker or workers performing the line marking are adequately trained in the use of the equipment and the line marking process, and to follow safety guidelines and regulations established by regulatory bodies.
