Platform marker repainting involves updating safety lines, position markers, and warning indicators across station platforms. Production rates vary based on marking type, application method, and operational constraints. Modern application techniques and materials have improved efficiency, with some projects achieving up to 200 linear meters per shift under optimal conditions.

Key Statistics:

• Average production: 100-150m/shift
• Yellow line width: 150mm
• White line width: 100mm
• Paint curing time: 30-60 mins
• Best practice completion: 2 platforms/night
• Average cost: $40-60/linear meter
• Typical durability: 3-5 years
• Safety compliance rate: 100%
