Do you comply with ICAO Annex 14?

Yes. All runway, taxiway and apron markings follow ICAO Annex 14 dimensions, colours and reflectivity, with Type III MMA systems for durability.

How do you minimise runway downtime?

MMA cold plastic cures in 30–45 minutes, allowing markings to be applied and reopened within a single night-shift NOTAM window.

Are your crews airside-trained?

Yes. All airside personnel hold valid airside driving permits and follow the airport's safety management system (SMS).

What is ICAO Annex 14 and why does it matter for airport marking?

ICAO Annex 14 is the international standard for aerodrome design and operations. It specifies dimensions, colours, reflectivity and materials for runway, taxiway and apron markings. All Gulf Seismic airport marking is ICAO Annex 14 compliant using Type III MMA systems.

MMA vs preformed thermoplastic for airport markings?

MMA Type III is the ICAO Annex 14 standard for runways (jet-blast resistant, 30-min cure, high wet reflectivity). Preformed thermoplastic is used for taxiway hold positions and apron markings. For runway centrelines and threshold bars, MMA is mandatory. Both systems meet GACA/GCAA requirements.

How do you minimise runway downtime during airport marking?

MMA Type III cold plastic cures in 30-45 minutes, allowing markings to be applied and reopened within a single night-shift NOTAM window (typically 4 hours). We coordinate with airside operations, work under NOTAM, and use airside-trained crews. A typical taxiway marking project is completed in 3-5 night shifts.

Are your airport markings ICAO Annex 14 compliant?

Yes. All runway, taxiway, and apron markings follow ICAO Annex 14 Vol I Chapter 5 specifications for dimensions, colours, and reflectivity. We use Type III MMA systems meeting GACA (Saudi) and GCAA (UAE) regulatory requirements. Crews hold valid airside driving permits and follow the airport SMS.

Service

Airport Marking — ICAO Annex 14 Airside Precision

Runway, taxiway and apron marking compliant with ICAO Annex 14 — jet-blast resistant MMA systems with high retroreflectivity.

Precision airside marking to ICAO Annex 14 standards.

Overview

Airside marking demands zero compromise. We apply runway and taxiway markings to ICAO Annex 14 specifications using MMA and preformed thermoplastic systems engineered for jet-blast resistance, fuel spill tolerance and high retroreflectivity in all weather. Our crews are airside-operations trained and work under strict NOTAM coordination to minimise runway downtime.
