Product Name

Underground Utility Warning Tape 365m x 100mm – CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW – Red LLDPE

Overview

Reduce the risk of accidental sewer pipe strikes, contamination incidents, and costly reinstatement works with Underground Utility Warning Tape. Manufactured from rot-resistant Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), this non-adhesive marker tape provides a clear visual warning to excavators before tools reach the buried service. Supplied as a large 365m roll with a 100mm width, it supports high visibility and long trench coverage for utilities, civils, highways, and groundworks projects.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-visibility red tape with bold “CAUTION SEWER PIPE BELOW” legend for immediate recognition.
• Colour coded in accordance with NJUG guidelines to clearly identify sewer services.
• Rot-resistant and acid-resistant LLDPE construction for long-term underground performance.
• Non-adhesive design intended for loose placement in trench backfill.
• Acts as an early-warning visual barrier when installed approx. 300mm above the service line.
• Helps prevent costly pollution incidents, repairs, and project delays.

Installation & Applications

Suitable for utilities, civils, highways, and groundworks projects involving buried sewer pipes. Do not place the tape directly on the pipe. Backfill the trench to approximately 300mm above the service line, lay the tape loosely along the trench length, then complete the final backfill so excavation tools encounter the warning tape first.

Who Is This For?

• Excavation and groundworks crews working near buried sewer services.
• Utilities contractors installing, repairing, or maintaining sewer networks.
• Civils and highways teams marking services for safer future excavation.
• Site managers and procurement teams specifying trench safety controls.
