Locata® Detectable Tape

Locata® Detectable Warning Tape is a high-visibility underground warning system designed to alert operatives to the presence of buried services, such as high-voltage cables and pipelines, during excavation works.

Available in a variety of widths, lengths and colours, the tape can be manufactured to meet a wide range of customer and project-specific requirements. It incorporates one or more corrosion-resistant stainless steel tracer wires, bonded to the printed warning tape, enabling accurate detection of underground assets from the surface.

Description

The integrated tracer wire allows buried services to be located using standard Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT) and signal generators (Genny), providing an additional layer of safety during excavation. It should be noted that while the product offers both visual and detectable warning, it does not provide mechanical protection against physical damage.
