Product details
Underground barricade tape is a high-strength, non-adhesive polyethylene warning tape designed for burial above buried utility lines to prevent accidental damage during excavation. It is typically installed 12 to 18 inches below ground and features bold, permanent lettering such as “CAUTION: BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW” or “WARNING: GAS LINE BELOW,” printed in contrasting colors for maximum visibility. Engineered to resist degradation from soil, moisture, and chemicals, this tape serves as a critical early warning signal to excavators. It is available in various colors standardized by utility type—yellow for gas, red for electric, blue for water, etc.—to ensure quick identification. The tape is non-detectable or detectable (with metallic components) for use with locating equipment. Essential for utility companies, contractors, and safety professionals, underground warning tape helps prevent service disruptions, costly repairs, and serious injuries during digging operations.
