Standard Underground Warning Tape

High quality virgin Grade polyethylene tape, printed with a highly resistant, solvent based ink. Designed to last and perform buried underground to mark the position of buried utility lines and help reduce the risk of third party damage. Features high acid & alkali resistance and is free from PVC. 

Instructions

For best results, the tape should be installed as close to the ground surface as possible.  We recommend that due consideration is given to the NJUG guidelines, although a typical installation would see a utility line buried at a depth of 600mm then the trench backfilled by 300mm and the tape laid directly on top i.e 300mm below the ground surface. 

Complies with the following specifications:

BS2782 (testing) 

BS381c (colours) 

BS3012 (plastics) 

NJUG 4  Identification of small buried mains & services 

NJUG 7  Recommended positioning of utilities 

NJUG 9  Guidelines on positioning & colour coding of utilities 

In addition, the tapes comply with various specifications for both UK and non-UK authorities.
