The Pegdev Detectable Mesh Sewer Pipe Marker is an essential safety tool for contractors, utility companies, and construction teams needing to mark and protect underground infrastructure. It provides a highly visible, rot-resistant physical barrier that warns operators during excavation, while its integrated detectable wire allows for precise surface-level locating. While the mesh is incredibly durable and compliant with BS12613:2024 standards, it requires proper installation depth to ensure maximum effectiveness during groundworks.

The wire allows utility workers to trace the route of the buried pipe from the surface using an electromagnetic locator device.
Yes, it is manufactured from high-strength, rot-resistant HDPE designed specifically for long-term underground use.
Yes, the product conforms to BS12613:2024, which governs the requirements for detectable warning devices.
While the mesh is printed with 'SEWER PIPE' warnings, the physical material is versatile; however, using it for other utilities may cause confusion for future excavation crews.
Each roll of this specific variant is 14 meters in length.
Check that your locator is set to the correct frequency and that the wire has not been severed or broken during backfilling.
Ensure the mesh was installed at the correct depth relative to the ground surface as specified in your project safety plan.
Installation should be performed during the backfilling process of the pipe laying stage. Place the mesh at a consistent, safe distance above the pipe, typically recommended by local utility codes or project site specifications. Ensure the mesh lies flat to maintain consistent detection signals.
Regarding care, the material is inherently maintenance-free due to its rot-resistant HDPE composition. Simply store the rolls in a cool, dry area away from direct UV exposure before use to maintain the integrity of the material and the detectability of the wire. If the roll is cut, ensure the cut end is properly managed so the embedded wire does not become a snag hazard or corrode at the termination point.
