Locata® detectable underground warning mesh
The warning net is a bright, colored polypropylene mesh which incorporates a stainless steel tracer wire which runs the entire length of the marker and to which is laminated a colored polyethylene tape printed with a suitable warning message. Different colors of warning mesh are available to warn of the presence of buried service lines e.g. water pipelines, sewers, gas pipes, telecommunications and fiber optic cables or electricity cables
Plastic underground warning mesh is normally installed a specified distance directly above the utility to be marked so that future excavators will be aware of the cable or pipeline further below.
Locata warning meshes offer a visual warning to excavators and have the added advantage that they detectable on the surface by, eg CAT & Genny. They are not intended to offer any protection or resistance to further excavation. Warning meshes may also be used in combination with Stokbord® cable protection tiles or Tapetile® cable protection tape or, other underground warning tapes
