Mains Marker Tape Non-Detectable Orange (Gas, Electricity, Telecommunications)

Product Description

Mains marker tapes are highly visible, non-adhesive plastic tapes that are buried underground. They are used to warn workers during excavation that buried gas mains, water pipes, electricity cables or other underground services are in the vicinity. They provide an early warning system to excavator operators who can easily see the tape when digging with earthmoving equipment.

The tape is laid an even distance between the surface and the underground pipe or cable, thereby giving the excavator operator an indication of how deep the services are. Marker tape creates a margin of safety before digging crews dig too deep. Underground warning tapes are chemical resistant, soil tolerant and resist rotting.

Marker tapes are also available as detectable tapes, which feature a thin metal wire sandwiched within the tape. This enables detecting equipment to pick up on the presence of buried services before any digging begins. Available in bright colours, marker tapes ensure maximum visibility. Underground tapes are also known as detectable warning tapes, detectable mesh tapes, underground hazard tapes and underground marker tapes.
