Underground Warning Tape

Avoid the problem of costly dig-ins to locate buried, non-metallic cables and pipelines with Detectable Underground Tape. Providing you with double protection, this tape is easily located with an industrial grade non-ferrous metal detector before you dig, while its highly visible colors make it easy to locate after the dig has begun.

To install, simply place a length of tape in the excavated ditch above the installation.  The tape should then be placed 6” to 12” below grade.  A professional or authority concerned with the proper use of the product should supervise installation of Detectable Underground Tape.
