APWA Color Code for Marker Tape With Tracer Wire

Detectable marking tape is essential for safely identifying and protecting underground utilities. Each color follows the APWA (American Public Works Association) color code to ensure clarity and compliance during excavation. Here’s an overview of the 6 standard colors used for underground utility marking:

  • Red: Indicates electric power lines, cables, and conduits. Used to warn of electrical hazards.
  • Orange: Represents telecommunication lines, alarm or signal cables, and conduits.
  • Yellow: Alerts to gas, oil, steam, petroleum, and other hazardous gases underground.
  • Green: Marks sewers and drain lines, helping to avoid accidental disruption.
  • Blue: Signifies drinking water lines (clean, potable water).
  • Purple: Primarily used for reclaimed water lines, but can also indicate irrigation or other user-defined utilities.

As a trusted supplier of marker tape and wholesaler of detectable warning solutions, we ensure our tapes meet industry standards and are customizable to meet your specific utility marking needs.

Applications

Detectable warning tape plays a crucial role in protecting underground utilities across various sectors. It's specifically designed to mark buried pipelines and cables, preventing accidental damage during excavation. Here’s how detectable warning tape is applied across different industries:

Energy Transmission

  • Pipeline Type: Gas pipeline, oil pipeline
  • Laying Depth: 30-50 cm above the top of the pipeline

Application: Our wholesale detectable warning tape helps protect gas and oil pipelines from accidental damage during excavation by clearly marking their location. Ideal for large-scale projects, our custom marker tape solutions provide added safety for construction and digging activities.

Municipal Engineering

  • Pipeline Type: Tap water, drainage, heating pipelines
  • Laying Depth: 30 cm above the top of the pipe
  • Application: For municipal projects, cable marker tape for buried cables ensures the safety of water supply lines, drainage systems, and heating pipelines. Our customizable detectable tape solutions are essential for safeguarding utilities during construction or maintenance activities.

Power Communication

  • Pipeline Type: High voltage cables, optical cables
  • Laying Depth: 50 cm above the top of the pipeline
  • Application: Our detectable warning tapes with underground signal capabilities are placed above high voltage and optical cables to prevent accidental damage during excavation. We offer bulk production of custom reflective tape for power communication systems, ensuring enhanced safety in construction zones.

Industrial Facilities

  • Pipeline Type: Chemical liquid transportation pipeline
  • Laying Depth: Customizable based on design requirements
  • Application: In industrial environments, custom buried electric tracer tape marks chemical pipelines, ensuring workers can easily identify and avoid these hazardous lines. As a manufacturer of custom utility marking tape, we provide solutions tailored to your specific design and safety requirements.
