When it comes to keeping traffic flowing and businesses operating smoothly, sometimes it’s the small details that make the biggest difference. At Elite Markings, we recently undertook a project at a bustling industrial estate in Swindon, Wiltshire, with the primary goal of improving safety and access for everyone on site.
The main challenge was the entrance road. With a constant stream of vehicles entering and exiting the estate, it had become a congestion hotspot with parked cars. To alleviate this, we were tasked with installing double yellow lines. Using high-quality yellow thermoplastic screed, we applied the lines to the entrance road. This durable material ensures a long-lasting and highly visible finish, crucial for a high-traffic area. By painting these lines, we created a clear no-parking zone, which will significantly reduce bottlenecks and allow vehicles, especially large delivery trucks, to enter and exit without obstruction. The result is a safer, more efficient flow of traffic, which benefits all the businesses and their employees on the estate.
While on-site, we also addressed another key safety issue. The fire exit doorway of one of the companies needed clear demarcation to ensure it remained accessible at all times. Just like with the double yellow lines, we used yellow thermoplastic screed for this application. We marked out the area in front of the door, creating a highly visible exclusion zone. This simple but critical marking ensures that the fire exit is never blocked, providing peace of mind and enhancing the safety provisions for the building’s occupants.
One of the most important aspects of this project was its execution. We understood that any disruption to the daily operations of the industrial estate would be costly and inconvenient. To prevent this, we completed all the markings outside of regular business hours. This careful planning allowed us to work efficiently without impacting the companies trading on the estate. Our team completed the job to the highest standard, ensuring a quick return to business as usual for our clients.
At Elite Markings, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and our ability to deliver professional, high-quality line marking solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients. This project in Swindon is a perfect example of how we can improve safety and functionality with minimal disruption.
