2016 Year in Review

Posted on December 31, 2016March 29, 2020

Our 2016 Year in Review – Advanced Pavement Marking projects included: Race tracks, Cities, Counties, Roads, Warehouses, Factories, Parking Lots and more.

The start of our 2016 kicked off installing safety markings for an automotive supply company.

Project After

Advanced Pavement Marking crews worked during the common automotive plant shut down time frame our crews worked around the clock prepping floor (Shot Blasting) and then installing pre-prime coatings.  Once primers were dry, two layers of top coat was installed.  This project turned out beautiful and just as important DURABLE!  Our client is extremely happy and so are we.


Next up in 2016 was our visit to Charlotte, North Carolina to attend the National Pavement Expo.

This pavement industry related National Pavement Expo provides a great insight on trends, products along with providing in depth classroom learning on various asphalt, parking lot striping and sales – business lectures.  We took time to walk through and view the exhibits and even brushed up on classroom studies by attending 2 pavement marking related seminars.

Pavement Maintenance and Reconstruction Magazine does a fine job each year at putting together the National Pavement Expo.

Another AWESOME experience and yet another state added to our service area!


Soon after leaving New Jersey back home in Michigan our traffic marking crews were prepping equipment for the start of the road marking, traffic marking and crosswalk marking season.  The race track crews merged with the traffic marking division and began to paint roads.

Our crews are split into specialized groups: Traffic Marking Division, Mid-Line (crosswalk, stop bars) Division.  To keep all trucks and equipment moving our projects forward faster.  We can rapidly service even the largest of city-county projects by having specialized crews.  Operating on split shifts allows use to effectively work in even the most congested traffic locations.
