Underground Warning Tape - Sewer Pumping Main - 150mm - 80M - Pegdev

The stainless steel wires are embedded within the tape to make it detectable from the surface using standard locating equipment, allowing precise identification of the sewer line's location.

For optimal detection, the tape should be laid directly above the sewer pumping main, typically within 150mm (6 inches) of the pipe.

This clear legend indicates that a sewer pipe is present underground at this location, serving as a warning to prevent accidental damage during excavation.

While designed specifically for sewer pumping mains, its detectable nature and warning legend make it suitable for identifying other critical underground services where a clear warning and detection capability are needed, provided it meets local regulations.

The tape is manufactured from durable 130-micron polypropylene, which is designed to withstand tough underground conditions.

Yes, the warning tape is compliant with EN 12613, meeting stringent safety and manufacturing standards for underground marking tapes.

The tape is 150mm in width and comes in a length of 80 meters.

Ensure the locator is calibrated and set to detect metallic conductors or tracer wires. Verify that the tape is laid directly above the pipe and is within the detection range of the equipment. Check for any breaks or severe damage to the tape that might have severed the embedded wires.

Inspect the tape for damage before covering it completely with backfill. If minor tears are present, attempt to repair with suitable, non-conductive tape if possible, or replace the damaged section entirely to ensure continuous protection and detectability. Avoid using sharp tools during backfilling.

Confirm the depth of the tape and the capabilities of your locator. Ensure there are no other metallic utilities or structures interfering with the signal. Reposition the locator or try a different detection frequency if available.
