Council Highways Team In-House Solution for Line Marking Services
Case Study
Problem
Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council were looking for a more effective in-house solution for line marking services.
The Redcar and Cleveland Highways Team are responsible for maintaining and managing the road networks within the Redcar and Cleveland area, although the boroughโs line marking was being delivered externally by line marking contractors.
The council were looking for a more environmentally friendly, economical and convenient method to manage and self deliver their line marking projects across the borough.
It was important for the solution to be in line with the boroughโs objective to become carbon neutral by 2030.
Solution
Following the purchase of an ECO ES RoadLiner Line Marking Machine, Redcar & Cleveland Highways Team was invited to the training academy to learn the complete process of line marking self-delivery, provided by Meon.
The All-Electric ECO ES RoadLiner Liner Marking Machine produces zero carbon emissions and will complete the full running time of 8 hours on a single charge.
With the ability to apply glass beads as it sprays, along with the ease of transport by box trailer, the ECO ES RoadLiner is the complete line marking solution, perfect for any local authority looking to safely self-deliver line marking in the most sustainable way.
Result
The opportunity to learn this new skill now allows Redcar & Clevelandโs Highway Team to self-deliver a wide range of line marking projects, from road marking in multiple colours, parking and disabled bays and refreshing existing markings, across the borough.
The self-delivery process is fully electric, reduces costs, provides a professional finish, and encourages Redcar & Clevelandโs Highway Team to take on more responsibility and gain more job satisfaction.
Additionally, the self-delivery of line marking with the ECO ES RoadLiner Electric Line Marking machine, results in a 60% reduction in carbon emissions from traditional line marking methods of practise, helping Redcar & Cleveland Council move towards their ambitions to become carbon neutral by 2030.
