Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Detectable Mesh Water Pipe Marker is an essential safety tool for contractors, builders, and utility companies who need to protect buried infrastructure. Designed to provide a clear, highly visible warning during excavation, this mesh features an integrated detectable wire for surface location and bold printed text to alert groundworkers to the presence of water lines. While it provides an industry-standard safety layer compliant with EN 12613, it must be installed at the correct depth to be fully effective as a secondary warning system.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this mesh?

It serves as a passive visual warning for excavators and an active signal for location tools to prevent accidental damage to buried water pipes.

Does this mesh comply with industry regulations?

Yes, the product is certified to EN 12613 standards for underground warning devices.

Is the material resistant to soil degradation?

Yes, it is made from rot-resistant, high-strength plastic designed for long-term underground use.

Can I use this for gas or electric lines?

This specific mesh is designed and labeled for water pipe marking; always use the correct color and labeling associated with the specific utility service.

How deep should the mesh be buried?

Installation depth should follow local site specifications and utility company guidelines for service marking.

Is the detectable wire already inside the mesh?

Yes, the detectable wire is integrated directly into the mesh structure during manufacturing.

Troubleshooting

Signal not detected by locating equipment

Ensure the detectable wire is continuous and not broken during installation. Check that your locator is set to the correct frequency.

Mesh is not visible after excavation

Verify if the mesh was installed at the correct depth relative to the ground surface as specified by local utility guidelines.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces the risk of accidental water pipe strikes
  • Dual-identification system (visual mesh and electronic trace wire)
  • Rot-resistant material ensures long-term durability underground
  • Complies with recognized industry safety standard EN 12613
  • Easy to install during backfilling of trenches

Cons

  • Requires proper installation depth to function as an effective warning
  • Detectable wire needs compatible ground-tracing equipment to be utilized
  • Requires manual placement during the backfilling process

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: The mesh should be laid horizontally over the pipe run during the final backfilling phase of a trench. Ensure the printed text is facing upward toward the surface.
  2. Compatibility: The integrated detectable wire is compatible with standard utility locating equipment (CAT and Genny).
  3. Care: As this is a buried product, no maintenance is required once installed correctly. Ensure the mesh is not damaged or stretched excessively during backfilling to maintain the integrity of the detectable wire.
