This Pegdev Detectable Underground Warning Tape is designed for construction and civil engineering professionals needing to clearly mark and identify underground sewer pumping mains. Its key benefit is preventing accidental damage during excavation through reliable detection via embedded stainless steel wires, offering a significant safety and cost-saving advantage. A potential caveat is the need for specific detection equipment to locate the embedded wires. This tape provides a crucial visual and traceable warning, made from durable polypropylene, ensuring longevity and compliance with safety standards.

The primary purpose is to clearly mark and identify the location of underground sewer pumping mains to prevent accidental damage during excavation.
The tape contains two embedded stainless steel wires that can be detected from the surface using standard underground locating equipment.
It is manufactured from durable 130-micron polypropylene.
The tape is printed with the warning message "CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW".
Yes, it is compliant with EN 12613, meeting stringent safety and manufacturing standards.
The tape measures 150mm in width.
While designed specifically for sewer pumping mains, its detection capabilities might be useful for other buried services, but its warning message is specific to sewer pipes.
Ensure the locating equipment is functioning correctly and set to detect metallic or conductive materials. Verify that the tape was installed correctly with the stainless steel wires properly oriented and not damaged during installation.
Inspect the tape during installation or if any concerns arise. While durable, extreme conditions or improper handling could cause damage. Replace any damaged sections immediately.
Ensure the tape is laid with the printed message facing upwards or clearly visible when uncovered. Proper installation during backfilling is key.
Setup: This warning tape is designed to be laid directly in the trench, typically above the sewer pumping main, during the backfilling process. Ensure it is laid flat and taut to maintain its position. The tape is typically placed a designated distance above the pipe as per local regulations or project specifications.
Compatibility: The tape is compatible with standard underground utility locating equipment that can detect metallic or conductive elements. The two embedded stainless steel wires facilitate this detection.
Care: As an underground product, the tape is designed for long-term burial. No specific maintenance is required after installation. However, during installation, avoid excessive stretching or sharp folds that could compromise the integrity of the embedded wires.
