Its primary purpose is to provide a highly visible and detectable warning for buried street lighting cables and other utilities, preventing accidental damage during excavation.
The tape contains two embedded stainless steel tracer wires that can be located from the surface using standard underground utility locating equipment.

Yes, this tape complies with EN 12613 standards, ensuring reliable performance and safety.
While specifically designed for street lighting, its properties make it suitable for marking and protecting other buried utility services like power cables and conduits.
Standard underground utility locating equipment that can detect metallic or conductive traces is required for detection.
It should be laid directly above the buried utility line at a specified depth, according to local regulations, before backfilling the trench.
Ensure the locator is functioning correctly and set to detect metallic/conductive traces. Verify that the tape was installed with the tracer wires oriented correctly and that no obstructions are interfering with the signal. Double-check that the tape was laid directly above the service line.
Carefully inspect the tape before installation. If damage is found, use a new section. If damage occurs during installation, assess the extent and consider laying additional tape or an alternative warning method if compromised.
Ensure the tape is laid in a continuous manner. Check for any kinks or sharp bends in the tape that might affect conductivity. Re-calibrate your locating equipment. Ensure sufficient depth of cover over the tape.
