Detectable Underground Tape

Underground Warning Tape That Shows Hidden Services

Our Detectable underground tape is used to mark buried utilities such as gas, water, electric and fibre lines. Laid above services during installation, it provides an early warning during future digging, helping prevent costly damage and dangerous accidents. Unlike standard marker tape, detectable tape contains a metallic strip that can be picked up by locating equipment before excavation even begins.

Added Safety for Groundworks and Maintenance

This tape gives contractors and utility teams peace of mind by making underground services easier to find years after installation. It’s commonly used on construction projects, roadworks and infrastructure upgrades where accurate service location is essential. Bright colours and clear labelling make it easy to identify different utilities once exposed, supporting safer working practices on site.
