This Pegdev Underground Detectable Warning Tape is designed for construction professionals and utility companies to ensure the safety of excavation projects by clearly marking buried telephone lines. Its key benefit is providing a highly visible and detectable warning to prevent accidental damage to underground services. A potential caveat is the need for specialized detection equipment to locate the embedded wires. This durable, 150mm wide tape is made from robust 130-micron Polypropylene, features two stainless steel wires for detection, complies with EN 12613 standards, and is clearly printed with the service it marks. It is also resistant to rot and fully recyclable.

The '150mm' refers to the width of the detectable warning tape.
The tape contains two embedded stainless steel wires that can be detected by standard underground service locating equipment.
While not a strict requirement for the tape itself, it is typically buried between 150mm and 300mm above the buried service it is marking to provide an effective warning layer.
This specific product is marked for telephone lines. Pegdev offers different variants of detectable warning tape for other services like electrical, gas, or water.
The robust polypropylene material provides good resistance to common soil conditions, and it is resistant to rot. Specific chemical resistance data may vary and should be consulted for highly contaminated sites.
EN 12613 is a European standard that specifies requirements for underground warning tapes. Compliance ensures the tape meets certain safety and performance criteria for its intended use.
Store unused tape in a cool, dry location, out of direct sunlight, to preserve the material's integrity and prevent premature degradation.
Ensure the locating equipment is properly calibrated and set to detect metallic elements. Verify that the tape was laid correctly with the embedded stainless steel wires facing upwards or as per equipment specifications. Check for any severe damage to the tape during installation.
This may indicate improper storage, such as prolonged exposure to UV light. Ensure the tape is stored away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Handle with care during installation, avoiding sharp edges or excessive force.
While the tape is designed for clear printing, inspect the tape during installation. If markings are significantly obscured, consider supplementing with additional, clearly labeled markers if necessary for critical installations.
