Signage and Marker Systems.

Protecting pipelines the public can’t see.

The Western Outer Ring Main (WORM) is a 51-kilometre high-pressure gas pipeline forming a critical link in Victoria’s transmission network.

Running through public and high-traffic areas, this asset required durable, vandal-resistant signage and marker systems to maintain visibility, safety, and compliance over its projected 32+ year lifespan.

Working closely with Spiecapag, Identimark delivered rapid, compliant, and highly resilient solutions - including custom U3 signage and pipeline marker systems - designed to perform in Melbourne’s UV-intense, public-facing environments.

What needed to be solved.

With public accessibility and environmental exposure as key risk factors, the WORM pipeline demanded long-term signage solutions that could resist fading, vandalism, and failure.

Spiecapag also needed fast turnaround on custom signs and markers—without compromising durability or compliance—to align with APA’s construction schedule..

Key challenges included:

Long operational life: Signage needed to last over 40 years in harsh field conditions.

Public safety and visibility: Critical markers and warnings had to remain legible and tamper-resistant.
