Why it works

Why bury this tape above the cable

Clearly visible underground

Bold black print on bright yellow film is easy to spot the moment a trench is reopened, well before a digger reaches the cable.

Located with a detector

Two embedded tracer wires mean the tape's route can be traced with a standard cable or pipe locator, even once it's buried and out of sight.

Built to last underground

LDPE film resists rot and degradation in the ground, so the tape keeps warning diggers for as long as the cable route stays buried.

Colour-coded to standard

Yellow is the standard colour for marking underground street lighting and electrical cable routes, so crews recognise the service instantly.
Overview

Detectable Underground Tape (Street Lighting) 150mm x 100m - Overview

This is a yellow detectable underground tape printed "CAUTION STREETLIGHTING", laid above a buried street lighting 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.

Frequently asked questions

How is this tape detected once it's buried?

It has two embedded tracer wires running its full length, so once it's buried the route can still be traced with a standard cable or pipe locator.

How deep should I lay it?

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

Why is this tape yellow?

Yellow is the colour used for marking underground street lighting and electrical cable routes. We also stock this tape in other colours for gas, water and other services.

How long is each roll?

Each roll is 100m long, 150mm wide.

What's the tape made from?

LDPE (low-density polyethylene) film, 120 micron thick, with two embedded tracer wires running its length.

Can I reuse the tape once it's dug up?

No - it's designed to be laid once in the backfill and left buried as a permanent warning marker.

Will the printed warning still be legible years later?

Yes, the black print is set into the yellow film so it stays legible even after years underground.
