This detectable underground warning tape is an essential safety tool for contractors, civil engineers, and utility workers involved in excavating near sewer pumping mains. It provides a highly visible, physical barrier and an electronic detection feature to prevent accidental strikes on critical infrastructure, though users must ensure proper tension during installation to maintain readability and detection accuracy.

The wires allow the pipe to be located from the surface using electromagnetic detection equipment, preventing the need for manual probing.
Yes, this product is manufactured in compliance with EN 12613 standards for underground warning tapes.
While this specific tape is printed 'CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW', the material is suitable for underground use, though specific color coding and labeling standards vary by utility type.
Follow your local project specifications; generally, warning tapes are placed 300mm to 500mm above the utility to warn the operator before they strike the line.
The tape is designed to be highly durable and resistant to the chemical and physical stresses found in underground environments.
Ensure the stainless steel wires are continuous and not severed. Check that your locator is set to the correct frequency for metallic detection.
Ensure the tape was installed at the shallowest recommended depth and that it has not been covered by thick, dark clay that obscures the red color.
To install, lay the tape flat along the center of the trench after the pipe has been bedded, typically 300mm to 500mm above the crown of the pipe depending on local codes. Ensure the tape is laid smooth to prevent kinking or tearing. For optimal detection performance, use a standard utility locator or cable avoidance tool (CAT) to verify signal continuity. The polypropylene material requires no specific maintenance once buried; however, ensure you document the exact depth and alignment of the tape in your project site plans for future maintenance teams.
