Detectable Underground Warning Tape Sewer Pumping Main - 150mm

The primary purpose is to provide a clear visual and detectable warning layer above underground sewer pumping mains to prevent accidental damage during excavation.

The tape has two embedded stainless steel wires that can be located using standard metal detection equipment commonly used by utility locators and construction crews.

The tape is manufactured from durable 130-micron polypropylene, designed to withstand tough underground conditions and maintain its integrity.

This specific tape is designed and marked for sewer pumping mains. While the detection technology could apply elsewhere, its labeling and intended use are for sewer lines.

The tape is 150mm in width. It is available in various lengths, which should be confirmed at the time of purchase.

Yes, the warning tape is compliant with EN 12613, a standard for underground warning tapes.

The tape is red and printed with the warning message "CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW".

Ensure the detection equipment is calibrated and functioning correctly. Verify that the tape was installed with the stainless steel wires oriented correctly for detection and that sufficient depth does not exceed the equipment's capabilities. Check for any physical breaks in the tape that might have occurred during installation.

While the tape is durable, prolonged exposure to highly aggressive soil conditions or physical abrasion could affect print clarity. Ensure proper installation depth to protect the tape from direct mechanical stress. For ongoing projects, document the installation location thoroughly.

Handle the tape carefully during unrolling and placement. Avoid excessive force or sharp objects that could puncture or tear the polypropylene. If a tear occurs, consider using a small section of additional tape to reinforce the area or, if significant, replace the damaged section.
