FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this warning tape?
The primary purpose of this Mains Marker Underground Sewer Warning Tape is to provide a highly visible warning layer above buried sewer mains. It alerts excavators to the presence of underground services before accidental damage occurs.
Is this tape detectable by electronic locators?
No, this specific tape is a 'non-detectable' warning tape. It does not contain a metallic tracer wire or foil. Its function is purely visual once unearthed. Detectable versions are available for other utilities, but this sewer tape relies on visual identification.
What standard does this warning tape comply with?
This Mains Marker Underground Sewer Warning Tape is manufactured to comply with Australian Standard AS 2648.1:1995.
What material is the tape made from and how durable is it?
The tape is made from high-quality, virgin-grade polyethylene. This material is chosen for its strength, tear resistance, and ability to withstand harsh underground conditions, including resistance to acids, alkalis, and rotting, ensuring a long service life.
What is the recommended installation depth for underground warning tape?
Warning tape should typically be laid at an even distance between the surface and the underground pipe or cable. This provides an early warning to excavator operators, giving them a margin of safety before reaching the actual service. Always consult local municipal regulations for specific burial depth requirements.
