Detectable Underground Warning Tape Sewer Pumping Main - 150mm - Traceable Marker Tape Stainless Steel Wires - 23M

Its primary purpose is to visually and electronically mark the location of underground sewer pumping mains, warning excavators of the presence of the pipe to prevent accidental damage.

The tape has two embedded stainless steel wires that can be located from the surface using standard electromagnetic locators or metal detectors.

It is manufactured from durable 130-micron polypropylene, designed to withstand typical underground conditions.

The tape is printed with the clear warning message: "CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW."

Yes, the warning tape is compliant with EN 12613, meeting stringent safety and manufacturing standards.

This specific product variant measures 150mm in width.

While designed for sewer pumping mains, its detectability feature makes it suitable for marking any critical underground utility where identification and protection are paramount, provided it's clearly labeled or communicated.

Ensure the detection equipment is calibrated and functioning correctly. Verify that the detector is the appropriate type for detecting stainless steel wires. Check that the tape was installed flat and not folded or severely damaged during backfilling. Ensure the detection equipment is used within its effective range.

This is unlikely with proper installation, but if the printing is compromised, the tape's primary function of being detectable remains. Ensure installation instructions are followed to maintain print integrity.

Confirm the tape was installed in suitable soil conditions. While durable, extreme chemical concentrations or physical abrasion could theoretically impact longevity. Ensure no sharp objects were in direct contact during backfill.
