FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this warning tape?
This Mains Marker Underground Gas Warning Tape is used to provide a clear visual warning to excavation crews about the presence of buried gas mains. It's laid in trenches above the gas lines to prevent accidental damage during digging.
Is this tape detectable by electronic locators?
No, this is a non-detectable warning tape. It relies on its bright colour and warning text for visual identification. For services requiring electronic detection, a detectable tape with an integrated metallic tracer wire would be necessary.
What Australian Standards does this tape comply with?
This tape is manufactured to comply with Australian Standards AS/NZS 2648.1:1995 for non-detectable underground marking tapes, ensuring it meets local safety and quality requirements.
What material is the tape made from and how durable is it?
The tape is made from extra-strong, virgin-grade polyethylene. This material offers excellent resistance to environmental wear, moisture, soil pressure, and chemicals, ensuring long-term durability in underground conditions.
How should this warning tape be installed?
The tape should be buried an even distance between the surface and the underground gas main, typically at least 300mm above the pipe. This provides an early visual warning to excavators before they reach the actual gas line.
