A Detailed Tour to the World of Underground Warning Tapes

Posted by kumar201908 on September 13th, 2021

Underground warning tapes have shown to be a sound investment in terms of accurate placement and the prevention of damage to costly underground utility systems. Additionally, they are a marvellous resource for drawing people\'s attention to a potentially hazardous location so that they may avoid it.

Such tapes are often utilized in municipal work, building projects, and other contexts where people\'s attention is required. They can be used with or without adhesives and can be modified to any length, breadth, and size. However, the width of caution tapes is generally between 3 and 6 inches. Furthermore, their width is determined by their size and how deeply they will be buried over the underground utility.

Warning tape is designed for long-term underground usage and is resistant to acids, alkalis, and other damaging factors found in soil. The imprinted warning message on the tape is encased to avoid ink degradation. This encasing also allows the warning message to be completely reflected.

Which Color Warning Tape Would Be Perfect For Your Requirement?

Warning tapes come in a variety of hues, with white and red stripes or black and yellow stripes. You may select the color of caution tape based on the sort of warning you wish to convey via these tapes.

According to worldwide regulations, if you wish to communicate a warning that an underground utility line is a high voltage electric line, then Red Warning tape is the right choice for you. Similarly, if you need caution tape for fiber and telecommunications cables, use Orange warning tape. Yellow caution tapes are used all around the world to alert people to the existence of gas, oil, and water pipelines. If you wish to warn excavators about the existence of portable or drinking water, you can request Blue Warning tape. Green warning tapes are recommended by global standards for sewage and storm drains.

You may further personalize the tapes by adding your company logo or any other signs and pictures that you deem appropriate.

What Are The Types Of Warning Tapes?

Underground warning tapes come in the following two types:

1. Detectable Warning Tapes
2. Non-Detectable Warning Tapes

Detectable Warning tapes: Detectable warning tapes are used to find underground water, gas, telecommunications, and sewer lines, the existence of which cannot be detected by any detector once put beneath the earth. Simply put, detectable warning tapes are used to mark off non-metallic lines since metal detectors, though industrial grade, are typically employed to detect the presence of warning tapes or underground utility lines.

Actually, detectable warning tapes are either metal foil tape or polythene tape that encases a metallic core made of aluminum or stainless steel. This metallic feature of these tapes helps in their detection from the ground.

Non-Detectable Warning tapes: Non-Detectable warning tapes are made without any metallic core and are put over lines that can easily be detected by a metal detector. They are simply intended to warn the digger not to dig any deeper or to proceed with caution since the power lines are close by.
