FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this warning tape?
Its primary purpose is to provide a highly visible warning barrier above buried communication cables, alerting excavators to the presence of underground services before they are struck, thereby preventing damage and ensuring safety.
What are the dimensions of this tape?
This Mains Marker Underground Communications Warning Tape measures 150mm in width and comes in a generous 500m roll, providing ample coverage for large-scale underground projects.
What material is the tape made from?
The tape is typically manufactured from durable, non-biodegradable polyethylene (often low-density polyethylene), designed to withstand harsh underground conditions and maintain its integrity over time.
How deep should this tape be buried?
The specific burial depth can vary based on local regulations and the depth of the communication cable itself. Generally, it's recommended to be buried a set distance (e.g., 300mm or 12 inches) above the cable to provide an early warning layer. Always consult relevant Australian standards and project specifications for precise guidance.
Is this tape suitable for other underground services like electricity or water?
No, this specific tape is designed and clearly marked for 'Communications' cables. Different underground services (e.g., electrical, gas, water) require specific warning tapes with corresponding colours and printed messages as per Australian standards to avoid confusion and ensure correct identification.
