New look for Travis Perkins
Background
Travis Perkins Paddington depot is one of the most highly trafficked facilities across the entire property portfolio, and past lining works had worn out well ahead of the expected life span. Travis Perkins contacted us to see if we could offer a solution and develop a new durable line marking solution.
THB materials undergo rigorous testing to meet the highest standards, guaranteeing performance and durability.
Road markings are crucial for the safety of both drivers and pedestrians. We are unwavering in our commitment to quality, and our precise, bold markings ensure everyone can see and understand the road clearly, making it safer. This dedication to safety is at the core of our work, ensuring the well-being of all who use the roads we mark.
We worked with Travis Perkins for over a year, examining various depots and conducting field trials of carefully selected products and application methods to prepare for the job.
