Underground Cable Warning Tapes

Underground Warning Tapes – Centriforce

Centriforce underground warning and marker tapes offer a cable protection solution for identifying underground pipes and cables thanks to coloured polyethylene tapes printed with a warning message.

Centriforce Locata underground warning tapes are coloured plastic, non-adhesive films manufactured from linear low-density polyethylene. Centriforce marker tape is printed with a message to warn of the presence of buried utilities e.g. electric cables, telecommunications or fibre optic cables, gas pipelines or water pipelines.

Underground warning tape is usually installed a certain distance directly above the service line to be clearly marked ensuring future excavators will be aware of the cable or pipeline further below.

Warning and marker tapes will only offer a visual warning to excavators. They are not intended to offer any protection or resistance to further excavation. Marker tapes may also be used in combination with Stokbord cable protection tiles or Tapetile cable protection tape.
