    Precision-Driven Process: Accuracy from Start to Finish

    For spotting, our advantage lies in our technical accuracy, utilising modern surveying methods to meet rigorous engineering specifications before any permanent paint is applied. For removal, we prioritise surface integrity; we select the optimal removal method be that griding or waterblasting based on the surface type and material to be removed. This careful approach ensures the existing asphalt or concrete is not damaged, leaving a clean, ready-to-mark surface that is fully compliant for the next stage of the project.

    What is 'Spotting' and why is it essential for new roads?

    Spotting is the process of setting out and temporarily marking (using dots or temporary markers) the exact location of all required line work. It is essential to receive final MRWA or Council approval before the expensive and permanent traffic paint can be applied.

    We minimise surface damage by selecting the right technique. Water blasting is typically used for less abrasive removal on asphalt, while mechanical grinding is reserved for tougher materials or concrete surfaces. We aim for removal that leaves the surface clean and undamaged.

    Yes. Thermoplastic and CAP require specialised removal, typically utilising mechanical grinding due to their thickness and durability. We ensure deep grooves are eliminated and the surface is prepared for new applications.

    Often, yes. For optimal durability and clarity, removal is required if the existing lines are too thick or if the new design is significantly different. This ensures the new paint adheres correctly to the pavement, not to old, flaky paint.
