Concerned with Our People

Clark Pavement Marking has grown and added both sweeping and pavement removal services, but employee safety is still the number one focus.

In 2006, Clark Pavement Marking purchased a Waterblasting Technologies marking removal unit. Training existing employees allowed Clark to incorporate high-pressure water blasting removal into its existing marking removal services.

Refining What We Do

New Jersey pavement marking contractor V&V Line Striping has not grown since 2006 but numerous management changes have resulted in increased profitability.

Vinny Toth, with son Vincent Jr., says V & V Line Striping carries no corporate debt, which not only assures survival but helps the company be competitive. 'When times get tough and people have to lower their prices there's no one that can compete with us because we don't have any debt to finance,' he says. 'If we have to get a job in that kind of environment we can blow people away.'

Thermoplastic 101

Know the basics of thermoplastic equipment, material, application, and safety before adding thermoplastic pavement marking to your service offering.

Shorter lines and smaller detail work can often be applied using a thermoplastic handliner. Contractors should preheat the material in a separate melting kettle first to avoid downtime while waiting for the material to heat up.
