Old Brick Paving Expands and Contracts — Standard Thermoplastic Doesn't Move With It
A heritage precinct carpark in the inner Port Adelaide harbour area had a mix of surfaces — modern concrete in the newer sections and original brick paving in the heritage zone. We marked the concrete sections with standard thermoplastic and used the same product on the brick sections without changing the specification. Within two SA summers, the thermoplastic on the brick sections had lifted at multiple points. The brick was expanding and contracting thermally at a different rate to the thermoplastic film.
Old clay brick paving has higher thermal movement than concrete or asphalt. Standard thermoplastic, which has minimal flexibility once cured, can't accommodate the differential movement between the brick units and mortar joints as the surface heats and cools through Adelaide's extreme temperature range. Flexible thermoplastic or a cold-applied flexible marking product is required for heritage brick and similar non-homogeneous surfaces.
Port Adelaide has an unusual character among Australian port suburbs — the historic inner harbour precinct with heritage buildings and brick surfaces coexists with active bulk materials handling, marine services, and coastal industrial businesses. The variety of surface types in a single area is greater here than anywhere else we work in SA. Surface type assessment before product specification is more critical here than in a standard industrial suburb.
SA DIT approved. We've been marking Port Adelaide port precinct and industrial facilities since 2009. Surface type and thermal movement assessment is part of every Port Adelaide quote that involves heritage or non-standard paved surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Port Adelaide inner harbour precinct, bulk materials terminals, and industrial facilities are part of our regular northern Adelaide coastal schedule. Surface type assessment included in every Port Adelaide quote — heritage brick and non-standard surfaces identified and specified with flexible product before any thermoplastic is applied. We've completed 5,000+ projects nationally since 2009 and carry $20M public liability insurance. Every Port Adelaide quote includes a site assessment, surface condition report, and fixed pricing. No estimates that change at invoicing. For SafeWork SA improvement notices we can typically assess within 24 hours and deploy within 48-72 hours. Completion comes with photo documentation, a compliance statement, and material specifications. DPTI approved for any road or carpark marking that requires local council or state road authority sign-off.
Old clay brick has high thermal movement — the individual bricks and mortar joints expand and contract at different rates as the surface heats and cools through Adelaide's extreme temperature range. Standard thermoplastic is rigid once cured and can't accommodate this differential movement. It de-bonds at the joints and lifts. Flexible thermoplastic or cold-applied flexible marking product moves with the surface and maintains adhesion through the thermal cycles.
Yes. Salt air from the inner harbour increases moisture and chloride exposure for external surfaces — same principle as Henderson WA, but less extreme given Port Adelaide's location on the protected inner harbour rather than open ocean frontage. We assess coastal exposure level during the assessment and specify products accordingly. Grade A thermoplastic for all external surfaces is standard in the Port Adelaide coastal environment.
Yes. Bulk materials yards — grain, mineral, fertiliser — are within our Port Adelaide industrial scope. We assess surface contamination from material spillage before quoting prep requirements. Contaminated concrete zones get mechanical grinding before primer. Line Marking Australia has been completing marking across Port Adelaide and surrounds since 2009, with 5,000+ projects nationally.
