Why it works
Why lay this warning tape
Highly visible
Bright green film with bold black print stands out clearly when a trench is opened, giving diggers immediate warning.
Detectable underground
An embedded tracer wire lets the tape be located with a standard cable or pipe locator before digging reaches the telephone line.
Rot resistant
LDPE film resists rot and degradation underground, so the warning stays intact for the life of the buried cable.
Colour-coded for telecoms
Green is the colour used across the utilities sector to mark buried telephone and communications routes, so crews identify the service at a glance.
Overview

Frequently asked questions
Can I locate this tape once it's buried?

Yes, an embedded tracer wire runs the full length of the roll, so it can be picked up with a standard cable or pipe locator even once it's under the surface.
Where in the trench should this go?

Lay it in the backfill above the telephone 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.
Why is this tape green rather than another colour?
