Why Airport Marking Demands Specialist Expertise?
Airport line marking isn't road marking with extra paperwork. It's a completely different discipline with its own standards, colours, symbols, and tolerances. The consequences of getting it wrong aren't just fines, they're potential safety incidents.
CASA Part 139 Manual of Standards specifies everything: runway marking dimensions and colours, taxiway centre line widths and patterns, holding position markings, apron stand layouts, and airside road markings. The tolerances are tight. A runway threshold bar needs to be exactly 1.8m wide and 30m long, spaced at 1.8m intervals. That's not approximate, that's exact.
We've worked at regional aerodromes across Victoria and NSW. Each project requires careful coordination with airport operations. Work windows are typically during runway closures or at night. Our crews hold ASIC (Aviation Security Identification Card) clearances for airside access. We understand the protocols: radio communication, FOD (Foreign Object Debris) prevention, and movement area procedures.
The materials are also specific. Airport marking paints need particular retroreflectivity and durability characteristics. We use aviation-grade materials that meet CASA requirements and provide the night visibility that pilots depend on.

Compliance Standards
Aerodrome Marking Standards
CASA Part 139 MOS, Civil Aviation Safety Authority Part 139 Manual of Standards. The primary regulatory document for aerodrome marking in Australia. Specifies all runway, taxiway, apron, and airside marking requirements including dimensions, colours, and materials.
International Aviation Standards
ICAO Annex 14, International Civil Aviation Organization standards for aerodromes. CASA Part 139 MOS aligns with ICAO standards. Understanding both helps ensure international consistency.
Runway Marking Specifications
CASA Part 139 MOS Chapter, Specific requirements for runway threshold markings, centre line markings, touchdown zone markers, and runway designation numbers. Exact dimensions and spacing requirements.
Taxiway & Apron Marking
CASA Part 139 MOS Chapter 10, Taxiway centre line marking, holding position markings, apron stand numbers and equipment positioning guides. Yellow marking for taxiways, specific patterns for holding positions.
Aviation Security Requirements
Aviation Transport Security Act 2004, Security requirements for airside access. Personnel working on aerodromes must hold appropriate security clearances including ASIC for security-controlled airports.
Airside Safety & FOD Prevention
CASA Part 139 MOS Chapter 11, Safety requirements for work on movement areas. FOD prevention, vehicle operating procedures, radio communication requirements, and work area safety protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Runway markings are white. Taxiway centre lines and edge markings are yellow. Apron safety lines can be white or red depending on purpose. Vehicle roadways use standard road colours. CASA Part 139 MOS specifies exact colour requirements including retroreflective properties.
Yes. All personnel working airside at security-controlled airports need ASIC (Aviation Security Identification Card) clearances. Our airport crews maintain current ASICs. For non-security airports, we still follow aerodrome access procedures.
Runway and taxiway work typically happens during scheduled closures or overnight when movements are minimal. Apron work can sometimes be done during operational hours in closed sections. We coordinate closely with airport operations.
We focus primarily on regional aerodromes. Major airports like Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane typically use large specialist contractors. Regional airports, private airfields, and smaller aerodromes are our specialty. Same CASA standards apply regardless of airport size.
Complete compliance documentation including measurement records verifying dimensions meet CASA MOS requirements, material certifications, retroreflectivity test results where required, and photos. Everything needed for aerodrome certification audits.
Yes, we mark private heliports and airfields. Requirements vary based on whether the facility is registered with CASA. We can advise on appropriate marking standards for your specific operation.
