Non-Detectable Underground Marking Tape

Construction zones are known to be filled with hazards, which is why construction professionals prioritize safety over everything else. One of the many effective ways to ensure the safety of the area is to check if there are utility pipelines buried underground. By doing so, professionals will know where they can safely excavate or build foundations. To protect buried pipelines against damage and prevent additional costs, there should be a non-detectable underground marking tape placed over them. This can immediately inform workers who are digging around the area that there are pipelines underground. Here on Engineer Warehouse, marking tapes come with different highly visible APWA color codes. There are orange tapes to indicate telecommunication cables, red for electric lines, yellow for gases, blue for potable water, green for sewage, purple for recycled water or slurries, and pink for temporary survey markers. They are also available in widths of 3 or 6 inches and in different printed legends. When burying these non-detectable marking tapes, it is recommended to place them 12 to 18 inches deep below the ground’s surface. No matter how long they stay underground, these tapes are guaranteed to withstand the elements because of their thick and durable construction.
