/// Studies show that approximately 95 % of all errors with gas-, electricity- and water pipes are caused through excavator works. If the supply pipes can be localized reliable and early enough, the delay of construction progress as well as additional costs will be avoidable. 

/// KEKOPLAST® No. 10 underground warning tapes are installed 30 – 40 cm above the service pipe to warn the operator early enough against damages. While trenching with the excavator the tape elongates very strong that it will be apparently well before breaking.

/// Moreover, the product characteristics support the ideal warning function: KEKOPLAST® underground warning tapes cannot be ignored because of the luminescent colours. With the help of the printing text one can identify type and owner of the pipe and cable that are laying underneath. Because of the strong elongation that the tapes have, trench workers will be warned on time. The warning function of the tapes is temporally limitless and that is why the tapes are absolutely resistant to ageing and colour fast. The print is permanently legible and therefore scratch- and wiping resistant.

/// Like all KEKOPLAST® products the underground warning tapes are made of polyethylene which behave absolutely environmental-friendly.

/// Until now, the warning principal of underground warning tapes was based on high elongation value of materials placed over the pipes. During excavation works the tapes did not get earth contact so that they would only tear in the excavator shovel.

/// Due to the technological development, especially the today's excavator lifting speed up to 300 mm per second, invalidates the previous warning principle. Because of the high force effect in the ground the tapes tear so that the warning effect gets lost.

/// KEKOPLAST® underground warning tapes represent a complete new generation of warning tapes. Developed in cooperation with the Institut für Bauschadensforschung Hannover, FH Mainz and the Deutsche Telekom, the tapes fulfil all specifications of security and product according to DIN EN 12613.

/// In relation to the perforated rated break points KEKOPLAST® No. 94 underground warning tapes guarantee a perfect warning function. The product tears up not until extreme strong excavator force. This especially tear-off procedure of perforated rated break-points assures the promotion of tape fragments even at a high lifting speed. The product characteristics ideally support this principal of early warning. Due to the bright colours it is not possible to loose sight
of the underground warning tapes. The print identifies type and owner of the cable or pipe immediately. The warning principle has no time limit because of the fact that the tapes are resistant to ageing and colour fast – even in aggressive grounds. The print is sealed with a film lamination to make the printing text permanently readable and to protect against mechanical influences.
