Underground Utility Warning Tape – Detectable, Heavy-Duty Rolls

For High-Visibility Utility Line Marking

Made with aluminum to locate buried utility pipes using a metal detector before you dig.

Detectable underground marking tapes are manufactured for the highest visibility in all types of soil conditions. APWA Color-Coded diagonal warning stripes are printed along with big, bold, black lettering to identify what type of utility line is buried below. These meet or exceed all industry standards.

DETAILS:

• 5 mil plastic
• Metallic coating
• 2″ x 1,000′, 3″ x 1,000′, 6″ x 1,000′ width rolls

MESSAGES: 

Water, Sewer, Fiber Optic, Telephone, Cable TV, Electric, Gas, Sewer, Storm Drain, Reclaimed H2O, Geothermal

Additional Information

Underground utility warning tape marks and protects buried gas, water, sewer, and electrical lines with a detectable trace built into a heavier-duty tape construction. Utility companies and municipal contractors use it on infrastructure projects where the tape needs to hold up under harder backfill and compaction. The embedded trace locates with standard equipment long after installation.

• Made in the USA
• Durable, heavy-duty construction for demanding backfill conditions
• Ships fast in bulk roll quantities

Underground Utility Warning Tape Designed for Heavy-Duty Underground Use

This tape uses a reinforced polyethylene laminate around the metallic trace core, built to handle mechanical backfill and compaction equipment without tearing. Line color and print match standard utility marking codes for water, gas, sewer, and electrical.

Utility companies specify this heavier tape on larger infrastructure runs where trench backfill is compacted with machinery instead of hand tools.

Where It's Used:

• Municipal water, sewer, and gas infrastructure
• Electrical utility trenching
• Large-scale pipeline and conduit installation
• Projects using mechanical backfill and compaction
• Utility company standard-spec installations

Infrastructure projects run long trench lines that consume tape fast. Bulk ordering keeps utility crews supplied through full project phases at a lower per-foot cost.
