This Pegdev Detectable Underground Tape is for utility companies, contractors, and municipalities responsible for installing and maintaining underground infrastructure. Its key benefit is enhancing safety by clearly marking buried street lighting cables and other utilities, preventing accidental damage during excavation. A potential caveat is that it requires specific locating equipment for detection. The tape is made of durable 130-micron Polypropylene with two embedded stainless steel tracer wires, ensuring high visibility and reliable detection.

The primary purpose is to provide a highly visible warning and a detectable marker for buried utilities, significantly reducing the risk of accidental damage during excavation and enhancing safety.
The tape has two embedded stainless steel tracer wires that can be detected from the surface using standard electromagnetic locating equipment.
It is ideal for marking underground cables, street lighting, and other utility services. Always ensure the tape's material is suitable for the specific environment and utility.
This refers to the thickness and material of the tape. 130 microns indicates a robust thickness, and Polypropylene is a durable plastic known for its resistance to chemicals and moisture.
Yes, the tape complies with EN 12613 standards, which relate to the requirements for detectable warning tapes for underground services.
The width of this specific tape is 150mm.
The tape is typically laid directly above the buried utility during the trenching or backfilling process, at a depth specified by local regulations.
Ensure the locating equipment is functioning correctly and set to detect metallic tracers. Verify that the tape was laid flat and continuously, and that the tracer wires were not severed during installation. Check for significant soil disturbances or obstructions between the locator and the tape.
Handle the tape carefully to avoid tearing. If minor tears occur, ensure the continuity of the tracer wires is maintained or use an overlapping section of tape to cover the damaged area. For significant damage, consider re-laying the affected section.
Ensure the tape is laid as flat as possible. Check the depth of the tape; deeper installations may result in weaker signals. If the tape is not continuous, the signal will be intermittent. Ensure the locator's battery is fully charged.
