The Pegdev Underground Detectable Warning Tape is an essential safety solution for construction professionals, utility contractors, and site managers aiming to prevent accidental damage to buried electrical lines and piping. Providing a clear visual and metal-detectable warning, this tape ensures excavators can identify service lines before they are breached; however, users should note that the tape must be installed at a specific depth above the service line to be most effective during surface scanning.

The tape is fully compliant with EN 12613 standards for buried detectable warning markers.
It is designed to be detected by standard utility locating equipment that detects metallic wires.
Yes, the materials used are fully recyclable.
For maximum protection, it is generally recommended to place the tape approximately 300mm above the buried service.
Each roll measures 150mm wide by 35m long.
No, it is specifically manufactured to be rot-resistant to ensure long-term durability in soil conditions.
Verify that the locator is set to the correct frequency and that the detector is calibrated to pick up metallic signals.
Ensure the tape is laid with enough slack to account for soil settling and verify that the backfill material does not contain heavy, sharp debris.
To ensure optimal performance, install the tape in a clean trench, keeping it centered above the utility line. Avoid twisting the tape during backfilling to ensure the internal stainless steel wires remain intact throughout the length of the installation. While the tape is resistant to rot and soil chemicals, verify that no sharp rocks or debris that could puncture the tape are placed directly against it during the backfilling process. No special maintenance is required post-installation, as the material is designed for permanent, long-term underground use.
