The Pegdev Detectable Mesh Water Pipe Marker is an essential safety tool for utility companies, contractors, and groundworkers tasked with protecting underground water infrastructure during excavation projects. It offers the dual benefit of immediate visual identification through high-visibility printing and remote detection via an integrated stainless wire, though it requires precise installation depth to ensure consistent detection readings.

It serves as a warning layer for buried water pipes, providing both visual alerts and a detectable path for utility locating tools.
Yes, the mesh is made from high-strength, rot-resistant material designed specifically for underground, moisture-prone conditions.
Yes, it features an integrated detectable wire, which allows the line to be traced from above-ground using appropriate equipment.
The Pegdev Detectable Mesh is certified to EN 12613 standards.
This specific variant has a width of 200mm.
This mesh is specifically labeled and designed for water pipes; you should use color-coded, labeled mesh appropriate for the specific utility being marked.
Check that the grounding connection for the locator is secure and that the wire has not been severed during backfilling.
Ensure the mesh was installed at the proper depth per regional guidelines so it is reached before the pipe itself.
Installation of the Pegdev Detectable Mesh is straightforward: it should be laid in the trench directly above the water pipe, typically at a depth recommended by local utility regulations. Ensure the mesh is centered over the pipe route to maintain maximum detection accuracy. No specific maintenance is required after the trench is backfilled, as the material is rot-resistant. To maintain integrity, ensure the wire remains continuous during installation; if the mesh must be cut or joined, verify that the metallic wire segments are correctly connected using standard splicing techniques to maintain electrical conductivity for future locating.
