Underground Detectable Warning Tape - Electric - Pegdev - Pdl

Its primary purpose is to provide a clear warning of buried electrical lines, preventing accidental damage during excavation activities through both visual and metallic detection.

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

The tape is crafted from robust 130-micron Polypropylene, making it durable and resistant to underground conditions.

Yes, the tape is compliant with EN 12613 standards, ensuring it meets recognized safety and performance benchmarks.

This specific tape is marked for 'Electric' lines. Pegdev offers similar detectable warning tapes for other utilities like water, gas, and telephone cables.

It should be laid directly over the buried utility, covered with a minimum of 150mm (6 inches) of soil, and then backfilled to grade.

Yes, it is resistant to rot and common underground chemicals, ensuring its longevity and effectiveness.

The product information mentions 'various types and lengths' are available. Please refer to specific product packaging or order details for exact dimensions.

Ensure the locator is functioning correctly and set to the appropriate frequency. Verify that the tape was installed with the stainless steel wires facing upwards or in a position detectable by the equipment. Check for excessive depth or intervening metallic structures that might interfere with the signal.

Handle the tape with care during installation to avoid tearing. If minor damage occurs, assess if the structural integrity of the tape and its wires is compromised. For significant damage, consider using a replacement section or reinforcing the area.

While designed for durability, prolonged extreme conditions might affect surface appearance. Ensure proper storage before installation and correct burial depth. The inherent durability of the polypropylene and embedded wires ensures functionality even if surface appearance changes.
