Yes, the tape is fully recyclable, making it an environmentally conscious choice for construction projects.
Verify that the locating equipment is set to detect ferrous metals or wires. Ensure the tape was installed correctly with the stainless steel wires oriented to be picked up by the detector. Check for any damage to the tape that might have severed the wires. Confirm sufficient depth and soil conditions for detection.
This may indicate improper storage. Ensure the tape was stored away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If degradation is extensive, the tape may need to be replaced.
If the tape is torn or cut, repair using compatible heavy-duty tape or replace the damaged section. If the wires are severed, the tape may lose its detectability and should be replaced.
