Why it works

Why lay this warning mesh

Clear electric hazard warning

Printed ELECTRIC CABLE BELOW along the full length gives an unmistakable warning before anyone digs into a cable route.

Detectable underground

An integral steel wire runs the length of the mesh, so it shows up on a standard cable and pipe locator even once buried.

Withstands the excavator bucket

Perforated mesh stays intact and visible if the ground is disturbed or lifted during later works, rather than tearing away.

Rot resistant

HDPE construction holds up underground long after burial, unlike paper or fabric alternatives.
Overview

Detectable Mesh (Electric Cable) 200mm x 100m - Overview

This is a yellow HDPE warning mesh printed "ELECTRIC CABLE BELOW", laid above a buried electric cable during backfill. An integral steel wire runs through the mesh so it can be found with a standard locator, giving both a visual and a detectable warning before anyone digs into the cable.

Frequently asked questions

Does this mesh have a wire for detection?

Yes. A steel wire runs the length of the mesh, so it can be traced with a standard cable or pipe locator once it's buried, not just found by digging down to it.

Why use mesh instead of solid warning tape for this?

The perforated design holds together better than solid tape if the ground above it is later disturbed, so it stays intact and visible instead of tearing.

How deep should it be laid?

Lay it in the backfill above the cable, below the final surface layer, so anyone digging finds it before the cable. Depth should follow your project's or the utility's own specification.

What colour is this mesh and why?

Yellow, the standard colour used for electric cable routes. We also stock this mesh for gas, water and other underground services in their own colours.

How long is each roll?

Each roll runs 100m, 200mm wide.

What is the mesh made from?

HDPE with an integral steel detectable wire.

Can it be reused once dug up?

No, it's a one-time warning marker meant to stay buried once laid.
