Detectable underground warning Mat lets you discover and avert harm to beneficial underground utility facilities. When digging, if you don’t find the utilities first, you are facing severe injury, high repair expenses, fines, and outages. As per the reports, every 6 minutes someone harms an underground utility line because they excavate without searching utilities first. With the help of a Detectable Warning Mat, it is very comfortable for those who excavate the ground for any purpose.
Here at Pulkit Plastic Sheets, we have a broad span of underground warning mats and pipeline tapes available in a diversity of colors and for a variety of techniques. Many, however, are not sure about what exactly underground warning tape is, so we’ve decided to write a quick blog post to let you know firmly what our pipeline mats are, what they’re used for, and how they can benefit you.
What is a Warning Mat?
The Warning mats also known as barricade tapes and safety caution tapes, are utilized to warn/catch the courtesy of the passer-by local workforces of the area, which possibly bear danger. These safety caution tapes work as lifesavers in different dangerous situations. Warning Mat are manufactured by using low-density polyethylene and are colored non-adhesive film. A customized printed message is published on it that warns the future diggers about the existence of any underground utilities installed, for example, electric cables, fiber optic or telecommunications cables, gas pipelines, or water pipelines. Underground warning Mats are installed underground at a particular distance but directly above the service line. It suggests that future diggers have to be aware of the underground utility pipeline.
This Pipeline Warning Mat is supposed to deliver an instant visual warning to the digger. They do not give any shield/resistance to the product utilized. They only offer a warning indication to the excavators for any further digging work done in the case.
Warning Mats also provide a physical barrier to the diggers and may be utilized in a mixture with cable protection tiles or Tape tile cable protection tape.
We also produce detectable warning tape & non-detectable warning tape, which buyers acquire for applications such as gas lines, sewer lines, water lines, optic fiber, telecommunication, and electrical uses. The breadth of the tape is chosen by the size and breadth of the buried utility line. The width of the tape selects the depth at which the detectable warning mat should be buried. Detectable warning mat safeguards the underground utilities 24 hours a day and around the year. This Warning Mat delivers a “stop-sign” effect that is highly observable to future diggers, even if the tape is not inductively located during excavation
