The underground warning tape, also called barricade tapes or caution tapes is a colored non-adhesive film made from low-density polyethylene. The warning tape manufacturers print a bold and visible “warning” message on the tape. The message warns about the work being completed of underground service locators in the area, that indicate the presence of service lines such as optical fibers, telecommunications, and gas and water pipelines below.
Usually, the authorities install the tape at a specific distance directly above the service lines, which makes it easier to carry out any future excavations. Moreover, the presence of the warning tape also aware the excavators about the presence of cable lines or pipelines.
Often an area requires further excavations, where the excavators unintentionally dig on the service lines. However, the warning tapes present on the surface indicate different service lines and protect them from any damage. Often warning tapes are used in combination with cable protection tape to offer a physical barrier to excavators.
Underground warning tapes form an important safety aid used for a variety of reasons. Most of the time, the use of these tapes becomes mandatory and guided by a variety of rules and regulations. The major advantages of the warning tapes include:
Barricade tapes are highly safe, which is beneficial to the highest extent. Organizations use these tapes to mark certain sites that are highly prone to hazards. Construction sites, accident sites on the road, the presence of electrical panels with open wiring, and any other areas prone to risk use these tapes to prevent hazards caused to humans.
Organizations like banks, government institutes, and hospitals use caution tapes to ensure the flow of the process, such as maintaining a queue and guiding the route to certain offices. Caution tapes efficiently help in managing the traffic. The tapes are used in cases when a particular site becomes inaccessible by unauthorized persons.
Often regulatory authorities supervise the function of different industries. These authorities use barricade tapes as an essential measure for health and safety. Tapes are a widely used tool in most industries.
The underground warning tapes are useful situations that promote safety by indicating high-risk areas or mark the areas of restriction. Here are some of the applications of the warning tapes.
In abate and remediation applications, these tapes find their use in tandem with abatement tapes. The tapes are used in building containment systems in areas that the authorities blocked to add extra security in contaminated areas.
In the construction sites, the barricade tapes warn against or block off hazardous areas and bring attention to dangerous equipment. Construction sites alone experienced almost 1000 deaths every year. However, proper placing of barricade tapes helps in preventing the incidents.
Firefighters use barricade tapes for isolating areas after a breakout. The fire officers, along with the police authorities, use the caution tapes for controlling traffic.
The most popular use of barricade tapes, as shown in television shows and movies. Forensic experts and police use these caution tapes to prevent any kind of tampering with crime scenes.
PE underground warning mesh helps in preventing utility pipes and cables during excavations. The mesh indicates the presence and orientation of underground cables and pipes. Our PE warning meshes are available in different colors with the “warning” message between the strips. The service authorities install the mesh between the buried utility and the surface so that the construction diggers receive an alert signal about buried cables and pipelines underground. Our warning meshes come in two designs- detectable and undetectable warning mesh.
Our warning meshes come with the following features:
Our underground warning mesh comes with the following advantages:
Usually, the authorities lay the mesh in the trench halfway between the pipe or cable and the surface area. The mesh imparts high impact resistance against any future excavations. For saving the pipeline repairs, the authorities protect each underground pipeline by the warning mesh. Our underground warning mesh comes in varied colors that help distinguish the use of mesh in varied applications. For instance, the blue meshes are used for detecting the water pipelines, yellows for gas lines, red for the electrical cables, green for telecom and optical fibers, and orange for the sewer pipelines.
