This Detectable Underground Warning Tape is designed for construction, civil engineering, and utility professionals who need to clearly mark and identify sewer pumping mains. Its key benefit is preventing accidental damage during excavation through a highly visible warning and easy surface detection. A potential caveat is the need for compatible detection equipment. The tape is 150mm wide, made from durable 130-micron polypropylene, and features embedded stainless steel wires for trace ability, clearly marked with "CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW" in red.

The tape is manufactured from durable 130-micron polypropylene.
It contains two embedded stainless steel wires that can be located using standard detection equipment.
The tape is printed with the warning message "CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW".
The tape is red for high visibility.
Yes, it is compliant with EN 12613.
The tape measures 150mm in width.
While it provides a clear warning, it is specifically designed and recommended for marking sewer pumping mains due to its printed message and intended use.
Ensure the detection equipment is calibrated correctly and set to detect stainless steel. Verify that the tape was installed with the stainless steel wires facing upwards or in the direction of the detector. Check that the tape is buried at a depth within the detection range of the equipment.
Inspect the tape for significant abrasions or tears before installation. While durable, extreme mechanical stress during backfilling could cause damage. Ensure proper installation techniques are followed.
This is unlikely due to the manufacturing process. Ensure the tape is kept clean and protected from abrasive materials before burial. If significant fading is observed, the tape may have been exposed to harsh chemicals or prolonged UV light before installation.
Setup: The tape should be laid directly above the sewer pumping main at a specified depth, typically 150-300mm below the final surface level, depending on local regulations and excavation depths anticipated. Ensure the tape is laid flat and is not kinked.
Compatibility: This tape is designed for use with standard metal detection equipment capable of sensing stainless steel wires. It is specifically intended for marking sewer pumping mains and is not intended for general-purpose underground marking.
Care: The tape requires no special care once installed. Its durable construction is designed to withstand underground conditions. Avoid unnecessary handling or exposure to extreme conditions before installation. Clean any dirt or debris from the tape before laying it to ensure a clear surface for future detection.
