Why it works
Why lay this warning tape
Highly visible
Bright yellow film with bold black print stands out clearly the moment a trench is reopened.
Detectable underground
Two embedded tracer wires let the tape be located with a standard cable or pipe locator before digging reaches the electric cable.
Rot resistant
LDPE film resists rot and degradation underground, so the warning stays intact for the life of the buried cable.
Colour-coded for electric cable
Yellow is the colour used across the utilities sector to mark buried electric cable routes, so crews identify the service at a glance.
Overview

This is a yellow detectable underground tape printed "CAUTION ELECTRIC CABLE", laid above a buried electric cable during backfill to warn anyone digging later, with two embedded tracer wires so it can also be located with a cable or pipe locator before a mechanical digger reaches the cable.

Frequently asked questions
Does this tape have a trace wire for detection?

Yes. Two tracer wires run the length of the roll, so once buried the tape can be located with a standard cable or pipe locator before a digger reaches the electric cable underneath.
What tools should I use once I've found this tape?
What tools should I use once I've found this tape?
Switch to hand digging with insulated tools rated to BS8020 rather than continuing with a mechanical digger, to reduce the risk of striking a live cable.
How deep should I bury it?

Lay it in the backfill above the cable, before the final surface layer, so it's the first thing found if the trench is reopened. Follow your project's or the network operator's own depth specification.
