Ras Al Khaimah Quarry Access Road Thermoplastic Marking
Re-mark 8.6 km of single-carriageway access road serving three RAK limestone quarries, with heavy HGV traffic, dust accumulation and steep gradients. The existing lines had been abraded by quarry-truck traffic within 18 months and the client needed a longer-life solution.
The Challenge
Re-mark 8.6 km of single-carriageway access road serving three RAK limestone quarries, with heavy HGV traffic, dust accumulation and steep gradients. The existing lines had been abraded by quarry-truck traffic within 18 months and the client needed a longer-life solution.
Our Solution
Specified a 4.0 mm hot-applied thermoplastic system (1 mm thicker than standard) with high-build Type II glass beads and added anti-skid aggregate on downhill sections. Preformed thermoplastic hazard arrows and edge lines were used on tight curves to improve night-time delineation for truck drivers.
Execution
Crews worked in 12-hour day shifts, water-blasting and re-profiling the surface before applying 4.0 mm thermoplastic at 190°C. A total of 34 km of line was applied across 8.6 km of road, with anti-skid aggregate broadcast on 3.2 km of downhill sections and 18 hazard symbols installed on curves.
Project Gallery
“After our near-miss we needed action fast. Gulf Seismic had crews on site in 72 hours and the road fully marked within two weeks.”
