Warehouse Floor Marking: 2,400m Safety Lines Campbellfield
Case Study FAQs
Preparation and parallel work. We had two marking machines running simultaneously, starting from opposite ends. Our crew of six split into two teams. We'd pre-planned every line using warehouse drawings, so there was no measuring delays on the night. Surface prep happened in the first two hours while the initial areas dried.
Forklifts destroy regular floor paint within months. Two-pack epoxy chemically bonds to concrete and handles abrasion far better. It costs more upfront but lasts 3-4 years instead of 12 months. For a busy warehouse, the total cost is actually lower when you factor in fewer repaints and less production downtime.
We used commercial alkaline degreasers, applied generously and scrubbed into the concrete. Then we allowed proper drying time before painting. The previous contractor skipped this step, which is why their markings peeled off. Proper surface prep isn't exciting, but it's the difference between markings that last and markings that fail.
Safe Work Australia requires clear traffic management in workplaces where vehicles and pedestrians interact. This means designated lanes for forklifts, separated pedestrian walkways, marked loading zones, and hazard identification. There's no single prescriptive standard, but AS 4024.1 series provides guidance on safety colours. We follow best practice using yellow for vehicle lanes, white for pedestrians, and red/white for hazards.
Absolutely. Most of our warehouse jobs happen during shutdowns, overnight, or on weekends. We're set up for after-hours work with our own lighting and equipment. We'll work around your schedule to minimise production impact.
