FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this detectable mains marker tape?
This detectable mains marker tape is used to provide both a visual and an electronic warning system for buried stormwater mains. It helps excavation crews identify the presence and approximate location of underground stormwater pipes, preventing accidental damage during digging.
How does the 'detectable' feature work?
The tape incorporates a stainless steel tracer wire laminated between two layers of polyethylene. This wire allows the tape, and thus the buried stormwater main, to be located using standard metal detection equipment from the surface, even before excavation begins.
What are the dimensions of this tape?
This Mains Marker Detectable Tape for Storm Water comes in a roll measuring 100mm in width and 250m in length.
Is this tape compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes, this detectable mains marker tape is manufactured to comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2648.1:1995, ensuring it meets the specified requirements for underground marking tapes in Australia and New Zealand.
Where should the detectable tape be installed relative to the stormwater main?
For optimal effectiveness, the detectable tape should be installed in a 'buffer zone' generally 300mm to 500mm directly above the buried stormwater main. This placement provides an early visual and detectable warning to excavators before they reach the actual service.
