About our Berrimah line markers
At Top End Line Markers, we have been serving the line marking needs of the Northern Territory for more than 25 years.
As a locally owned and operated business, we’re proud of the mark we leave on the territory. Our team is committed to making it a safer place to work and live. In 2018, we won the Civil Contractors Federation NT, Sub-Contractor of the Year.
You can see our work across the Territory. From roads and highways to car parks and airstrips Top End Line Markers are there. We take care of warehouse safety marking, roundabouts, pedestrian refuge islands and school crossings, along with sports courts and pavement stencilling including disabled logos, pavement text and arrows. We line mark hot mix, asphalt and concrete surfaces with ease.
All our work is done to Australian Standards for line marking. The safety of both our employees and you, the public, is our main priority and to that end Top End Line Markers adheres to strict Work Zone Traffic Management, using internal management systems. These include daily work plans and safe working method statements (SWMS). We take pride in these safe work methods to ensure that our projects run efficiently.
Traffic management is a very important component of our work and all our line marking personnel are accredited in Work Zone Traffic Management 2 and 3, with a director of the company accredited in Work Zone Traffic Management Level 1. Our team takes safety very seriously.
We’re also accredited with CAL and PCCP. These accreditations ensure we have the financial capacity to carry on our work, as well as the knowledge and understanding of what line marking is required at each project. With our ECAAS certifications for safety, quality and the environment, we can handle just about anything. Our team continues to learn and develop new skills to ensure we can provide the level of workmanship our customers have come to expect.
At Top End Line Markers, we’re proud of the workmanship and the care we take with everything we do. We have a commitment to provide quality, safe and cost-effective services for all of our clients and work with each one to ensure the job is done to complete satisfaction.
There is no substitute for knowledge, experience and quality; our team delivers that and more. With the flexibility to handle any sized job, from start to finish, and with more than 25 years in the business, it’s no surprise we’re the company of choice in the top end.
