What we deliver

Consultation and corridor planning

• Site audit of curves, grades, drainage, plow routes, and crash history.

• Code-aligned color and placement plan based on MUTCD and state supplements.

• Material selection matched to your climate, traffic volumes, and maintenance strategy.

Professional installation

• Standard surface-applied markers set with two‑part epoxy or bituminous adhesive.

• Snowplowable cast housings with replaceable prismatic lenses for plowed corridors.

• Inset/flush installs at high-wear locations to reduce shear forces.

• Tight alignment with existing striping to create one cohesive guidance system.

• Night check and punch‑list closeout to verify brightness and aim.

Maintenance and lifecycle support

• Programmed sweeps for missing/dim markers and lens replacements.

• Adhesive re‑bonding and housing resets where needed.

• Retroreflectivity tracking and replacement thresholds so budgets are predictable.

Typical applications

• Curves, ramps, and diverges where lane discipline is critical.

• Rural/unlit corridors and bridge/tunnel approaches.

• High-speed lanes, managed lanes, and gore areas.

• Wet‑night hotspots where paint visibility drops.

• Facility roads, logistics yards, and campuses that need after‑dark guidance.

Colors and meanings (common practice)

• White: same‑direction lane delineation.

• Yellow: opposing traffic/centerline delineation.

• Red: wrong‑way indication on the marker’s back face.

• Blue: hydrant locator on local streets (where adopted by the authority).

We confirm and document color conventions with your agency or AHJ before work begins.

Product options

• Standard low‑profile plastic/ceramic RPMs with high‑intensity retroreflective faces.

• Snowplowable systems: cast iron/steel housings anchored in pavement with replaceable lenses.

• Temporary work‑zone tabs/buttons for staged projects.

• Flexible delineator posts and object markers to extend guidance beyond the stripe.

Materials and installation best practices

• Surface prep: clean, dry substrate; avoid joints and ponding areas.

• Adhesives: climate‑appropriate epoxy/bituminous adhesives with cure‑time staging.

• Spacing: set by posted speed, curvature, and line function for consistent preview distance.

• Snow states: plow‑friendly housings, proper recess depth, and blade shoe awareness.

• QC: bond test, torque/impact checks, and night inspection for uniform brightness.

Integration with striping

We pair RPM layouts with the right pavement marking material so visibility stays high year‑round:

• Waterborne/high‑build paint for economical refreshes.

• Thermoplastic, MMA, epoxy/polyurea for longer life at conflict points.

• Premium glass bead systems (standard/large optics) to raise wet‑night retroreflectivity.

• Layout coordination so paint and RPMs tell the same story—no mixed messages.

Results you can expect

• Measurably better lane keeping at night and in rain.

• Faster driver recognition at lane drops, exits, and gores.

• Lower maintenance spend via lens‑only swaps on snowplowable systems.

• Cleaner audits: documented layouts, materials, and night checks.

Our process

1. Walk/drive the corridor and document needs.

2. Present a marked‑up RPM/striping plan with product options and pricing.

3. Schedule traffic control and night/low‑impact work windows.

4. Install, cure, and perform a nighttime verification pass.

5. Deliver as‑builts, inventory counts, and a maintenance roadmap.

Who we serve

• DOTs, counties, and municipalities

• Property managers and HOAs along high‑speed corridors

• Industrial parks, distribution centers, airports, hospitals, and campuses

• Contractors seeking a turnkey RPM + striping partner

FAQs

• How long do RPMs last?
  Surface markers typically 1–3+ years; snowplowable housings 5–10+ years with periodic lens changes (traffic, climate, and plow activity affect life).

• Can you add RPMs without re‑striping?
  Yes—if markings are in good condition and properly located. Otherwise, we recommend a coordinated refresh.

• Do they survive snowplows?
  Use snowplowable housings with replaceable lenses; we install to the specified recess and orientation to minimize blade strikes.
