Its primary purpose is to warn excavators about the presence of buried sewer pipes, preventing accidental damage during digging.
The tape contains two embedded stainless steel wires that can be detected using standard metal detection or specialized utility locating equipment.
The tape is manufactured from durable 130-micron thick Polypropylene.
Yes, the PegDev Detectable Underground Warning Tape complies with the EN 12613 standard.
While designed for sewer pipes, it can be used to mark other buried utilities where a red, detectable warning tape is appropriate and meets local regulations.
The tape is 150mm wide and comes in a length of 25 meters.
Yes, the tape is rot-resistant and designed for long-term installations in various underground conditions, including wet soil.
Ensure the locator is set to detect metal and is configured for the correct frequency. Verify that the tape is laid flat and not excessively deep. Check for any breaks or damage to the tape that might have occurred during installation.
Handle the tape with care and avoid dragging it over sharp objects. Ensure the trench bed is clear of debris before laying the tape. If a tear occurs, use a new section of tape to bridge the damaged area and ensure continuous detection.
While the color is designed for visibility, extreme soil conditions can cause some fading. The embedded detection wires remain the primary method of location, ensuring continued detectability regardless of color degradation.
