Detectable Underground Tape (Street Lighting) - 150mm Yellow Traceable 11M - Pegdev - Pdl

The primary purpose is to provide a visible warning and a detectable marker for buried services, specifically street lighting cables, to prevent accidental damage during excavation.

The tape contains two stainless steel tracer wires. Standard underground utility locating equipment can detect these metallic wires, allowing the precise location of the tape (and the buried service it marks) to be found from the surface.

130-micron refers to the thickness of the polypropylene material used to construct the tape. A higher micron count generally indicates a thicker, more durable material.

While primarily designed for street lighting, its function as a warning and detectable marker makes it suitable for other non-pressurized utility lines as well, provided it meets local regulations for marking those specific services.

This tape complies with EN 12613 standards, which relate to underground warning tapes.

The tape comes in a length of 11 meters.

Yes, the tape provides a strong visual warning due to its bright yellow color, even without using a locating device. However, the detectability feature offers an added layer of safety and precision.

Ensure the locating equipment is correctly calibrated and set to detect metallic tracer wires. Verify the tracer wires are not damaged during installation. Check that the tape is installed within the effective detection range of the locator.

While designed for durability, extreme soil acidity or prolonged UV exposure before burial can affect color. Ensure proper burial depth to minimize exposure if exposed temporarily.

Handle the tape carefully during installation. Ensure no sharp objects are present in the trench or backfill material that could cause damage. If tears occur, consider overlapping with additional tape if possible.
