Troubleshooting

Tape cannot be detected by equipment.

Verify that the detection equipment is functioning correctly and is set to detect stainless steel. Ensure the tape was installed with the detectable wires facing upwards or as per manufacturer guidelines. Check for any significant depth or obstruction issues that might impede detection.

Tape appears damaged or degraded.

Inspect the tape for any visible signs of damage before backfilling. If degradation is noted after installation, it may indicate improper storage or environmental factors. Replace if integrity is compromised.

Difficulty unwinding or laying the tape.

Ensure the tape is stored properly to prevent excessive stiffness. If cold, allow it to warm to ambient temperature before attempting to lay it. Avoid sharp bends or kinks during installation.
