This Pegdev Underground Detectable Warning Tape is designed for construction professionals and utility companies needing to clearly mark buried gas lines. Its key benefit is providing a durable, highly visible, and detectable warning to prevent accidental damage to underground infrastructure, ensuring project safety and compliance. A potential caveat is the need to select the correct tape variant for the specific service being marked.

Its primary purpose is to provide a visible and detectable warning to prevent accidental damage to buried gas lines during excavation activities.
The tape contains two integrated stainless steel wires that can be detected by standard subsurface locating equipment.
The tape is made from robust 130-micron polypropylene.
Yes, it is compliant with EN 12613 standards.
While this specific tape is marked for 'Gas', Pegdev offers similar detectable warning tapes in various types and lengths suitable for water pipes, electrical lines, and telephone cables.
It should be stored in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Yes, the tape is fully recyclable.
This specific variant measures 150mm in width and 24 meters in length.
Ensure the locating equipment is functioning correctly and set to detect metallic wires. Verify the tape was installed with the stainless steel wires facing upwards or in the expected orientation. Check if the tape was damaged during installation.
While robust, severe localized soil conditions or damage during installation could occur. Ensure proper backfilling techniques are used to avoid abrasion. If degradation is noted, replace the section or consider alternative materials for future projects.
Verify the correct variant of the warning tape was ordered and installed for the specific service. If an error was made during installation, carefully excavate and replace with the correct tape.
Setup: This warning tape is designed to be buried directly above the utility it protects. It should be laid horizontally in the trench, typically a specified distance (refer to local regulations or project plans) above the gas pipe. Ensure the tape is laid flat and centered over the service. Backfill the trench carefully, avoiding sharp objects that could damage the tape.
Compatibility: The tape is compatible with standard excavation and locating equipment designed to detect metallic elements. It is designed for use with buried gas lines but similar variants exist for water, electrical, and telephone services.
Care: Store the tape in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its integrity. The polypropylene material is resistant to rot and chemicals typically found in soil. No active maintenance is required once buried; its function is passive detection and warning.
