"How Can PrimeGuard™ Detectable Underground Tapes Improve Safety and Identify Buried Utility Lines?"
Detectable Tape is used for detecting, locating, identifying, and protecting buried utility lines for gas, water, sewer, telecommunication, and electrical markets. The width of tape used, is determined by the size of, and depth at which the underground utility line is buried. The depth at which detectable tape is buried, is determined by the width of the tape used. The aluminum core is detected through means of inductive locating. Buried utility type is identified by the standardized APWA color-code and utility type legend printed on the tape.
