Road Marking Services
1. Thermoplastic Road Marking
Road markings play a vital role in highway safety, and AST brings unmatched expertise in hot thermoplastic road marking across Oman. With a skilled in-house team and state-of-the-art equipment, we deliver durable, high-visibility markings that ensure safety in all weather conditions.
We specialize in screed and preformed thermoplastic markings, extrusion, profiled markings, and road studs. Using premium thermoplastic paint, glass beads, and advanced machinery, our team handles projects of all sizes — from highways to specialty markings like arrows, crosswalks, and stop bars — with speed, precision, and long-lasting results.
2. MMA Cold Plastic Marking
AST provides professional cold plastic road marking services in Muscat and across Oman. Known for its fast curing, durability, and superior reflectivity, cold plastic is ideal for highways, parking areas, service yards, and other high-traffic zones.
Our skilled team uses advanced technology and premium materials to deliver markings that withstand heavy loads, resist dirt, and ensure high visibility in all conditions. Available in various resin colors, our cold plastic solutions can be customized to meet both safety and aesthetic project requirements.
3. Airport & Runway Marking
Line marking is a vital part of airfield infrastructure, ensuring safe aircraft and vehicle movement on runways, taxiways, and aprons. With extensive experience in airport and runway markings, AST delivers precise, durable, and regulation-compliant solutions that enhance both safety and efficiency.
We use Alkyd Base cold paint and advanced technology to provide accurate markings that meet international standards without affecting aircraft performance. Backed by a skilled team, modern equipment, and high-quality materials, AST ensures every project is completed on time with the highest level of quality assurance.
4. Studs – Aluminium / Ceramics
Road studs are essential for traffic guidance and road safety, especially in low visibility and adverse weather conditions. They mark lanes, edges, and hazards, helping ensure the safety of both drivers and pedestrians.
AST provides reflective, non-reflective, and solar-powered road stud installations across Oman, meeting all safety and performance standards. Our expert team installs studs in roads, car parks, warehouses, and industrial sites with precision, using high-quality materials for durability and long-lasting performance.
5. Sand Blasting / Jet Wash
At AST, we use the sandblasting method — an eco-friendly technique combining volcanic sand, heated water, and low-pressure air — to safely and effectively remove road markings.
This process allows us to clear markings from car parks, runways, highways, garages, and loading decks with minimal surface damage. Whether for traffic layout changes, temporary marking removal, or surface relining, our skilled team ensures a clean finish that restores the surface and prepares it for new coverings.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
Horizontal Directional Drilling or HDD, is a steerable trenchless method of installing underground pipe, conduit, or cable in a shallow arc along a prescribed bore path by using a surface-launched drilling rig, with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
Directional Drilling is used when trenching or excavating is not practical. It is suitable for a variety of soil conditions and jobs including road, landscape and river crossings. Pipe can be made of materials such as PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, ductile iron, and steel as long as it can be pulled through the drilled hole.
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a method of installing underground pipelines, cables and service conduit through trenchless methods. It involves the use of a directional drilling machine, and associated attachments, to accurately drill along the chosen bore path and back ream the required pipe.
Directional drilling is a three stage process:
1. Pilot Hole
The first stage consists of drilling a small diameter pilot hole. Drilling fluid is pumped through the drill pipe to the drill bit where high pressure jets and the bit will grind the soils ahead of the drill stem. The drilling fluid will also carry the cuttings back to the entrance pit at the drill rig. Tracking of the pilot hole can be done in several ways depending on the size and complexity of the shot. Smaller shots are done using a walkover guidance system whereas the larger more complex shots have a wire line magnetics type system. With both methods there is a transmitter or steering tool located near the drill head which sends a signal to the location engineer giving the exact coordinates of the drill stem. Readings are constantly taken which check the depth, alignment and percent slope of the drill head.
Corrections will be made by the operator and locator to keep the pilot hole along the predetermined bore path. The speed of the pilot hole will vary upon existing soil conditions and the amount of steering which is required. Upon reaching the exit point, the beacon housing and bit is detached and replaced with a reamer.
2. Pre-Reaming
The second step is to pre-ream the pilot hole and enlarge it to a size sufficient to safely install the product lines. A reamer is pulled back and rotated while pumping drilling fluid to cut and remove solids to enlarge the hole. Pre-reaming speeds will vary depending on existing soil conditions and the amount of cuttings that are removed from the hole.
Bentonite and other additives will be used to ensure a clean and stable hole. Bentonite is used to create a “cake layer” around the outside of the hole during pre-reaming. This will help with the stability of the bore hole and with fluid loss or infiltration. Additives such as polymers are used to help break up the clay soils. A more evenly mixed drilling fluid will prevent any blockages inside of the bore hole.
3. Pipe Pullback
The final step is the pullback of the pipe within the pre-reamed hole. The drill rod and reamer will be attached to a swivel, which is utilized between the product line and the reamer to prevent any torsional stress from the rotating drill string being transferred to the product pipe. As the product pipe is pulled into the drill hole, drilling fluid is pumped downhole to provide lubrication to the product pipe.
