Its primary purpose is to clearly mark and identify underground sewer pumping mains to prevent accidental damage during excavation.
The tape has two embedded stainless steel wires that can be located from the surface using standard underground detection equipment.
The tape is manufactured from durable 130-micron polypropylene.
Yes, it is compliant with EN 12613, a standard for underground warning tapes.
The tape is printed with the warning message "CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW".
The tape is 150mm wide and comes in a 16-meter length.
While designed specifically for sewer pumping mains, its detectability and warning features make it a strong marking tool. However, for other utilities, specific colored and printed tapes are often recommended for clarity and compliance.
Ensure the detection equipment is functioning correctly and is suitable for detecting metallic tracers. Verify the tape was installed with the stainless steel wires facing upwards or in a position conducive to detection. Check for any significant obstructions or unusual ground conditions that might interfere with the signal.
This is uncommon due to the durable polypropylene construction. If damage is suspected, ensure the tape was installed correctly and that no aggressive chemicals are present in the soil. If the integrity is compromised, consider replacing the section or using supplementary marking methods.
Ensure the tape is installed with the printed side facing upwards. While the detection wires are the primary method for locating, the printed message serves as a secondary visual confirmation. Proper installation is key.
