Delivering Solutions with Visible Results
Well-designed Pavement Markings provide critical elements to guide users, supplement signs and improve operating conditions during low visibility situations. Painting an airfield is a delineation practice that, until recently, has not been emphasized as an essential component of aviation safety. Like motorists, pilots and others navigating on an airfield require the markings be functional (visible) as this environment can be very disorientating even during daylight hours.
The key factor in determining the nighttime visibility of a marking is retroreflectivity: the ability to reflect light back to those relying on the markings to get them safely to their destination. Retro-reflectivity is determined by what materials are used, how they are installed and when they degrade. Tracking this information provides a practical method for maintaining markings, saving money and is essential for making airports safer.
Rarely are markings taken out of service and are often left in place long after their useful life, unlike the faded sign or burned out light bulb. How do you know when a marking is no longer functioning?
Let Pavement Marking Solutions guide you with these decisions by shedding some light on your specific situation.

Our Mission
Our mission is to demonstrate how airfield marking management systems can improve aviation operations in a cost effective manner while tracking the quality and life expectancy of the markings.
