FAQs

What material is the warning tape made of?

The tape is crafted from robust 130-micron Polypropylene.

How is the tape detectable underground?

It contains two embedded stainless steel wires that can be located using standard metal detection equipment.

What does the 'Gas' marking signify?

The 'Gas' marking clearly identifies that the tape is placed above an underground gas line, alerting excavators to its presence.

Does this tape meet any safety standards?

Yes, it is compliant with EN 12613 standards for underground warning tapes.

Can this tape be used for other utilities like water or electricity?

No, this specific tape is marked for 'Gas' lines. Pegdev offers different variants for water, electrical, and telephone cables.

Is this tape environmentally friendly?

Yes, the tape is fully recyclable.

What are the dimensions of this tape?

This specific variant is 150mm wide and 2 meters long.

How should I store the tape before use?

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its condition and integrity.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not detected by equipment.

Ensure the detection equipment is functioning correctly and set to the appropriate frequency. Verify that the tape was laid with the stainless steel wires oriented for detection. Check if the tape was damaged during installation.

Tape appears brittle or degraded.

This may occur if stored improperly, exposed to extreme conditions, or after a very long period underground. Ensure proper storage conditions for future use. If recently installed, check for signs of chemical contamination in the soil.

Tape marking is unclear or faded.

While designed for durability, extreme soil conditions could impact printed markings over extended periods. Ensure proper installation depth to protect the tape from surface abrasion. For critical applications, consider using multiple layers or additional marking methods.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides critical early warning to prevent damage to gas lines.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity underground.
  • Clear labeling simplifies identification of buried services.
  • Meets relevant safety standards (EN 12613).
  • Recyclable material supports environmental initiatives.

Cons

  • Requires specialized detection equipment to locate.
  • Limited length (2m) may require multiple pieces for extensive areas.
  • Specific to gas lines; other variants needed for different utilities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the location of the buried gas line.
  2. Lay the Underground Detectable Warning Tape directly above the gas line, typically at a minimum recommended depth (refer to local regulations, often around 30cm or 12 inches below the surface).
  3. Ensure the tape is laid flat and straight along the path of the utility.
  4. Backfill the trench, compacting soil carefully around the tape.

Compatibility:

  • This tape is designed to be detected by standard metal detection equipment used for locating buried utilities.
  • It is compatible with most soil types and underground conditions.
  • For optimal safety, use the specific tape variant corresponding to the utility being marked (e.g., 'Gas' tape for gas lines).

Care:

  • Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its integrity.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • The tape is resistant to rot and degradation, requiring no special maintenance once installed underground.
