APWA Color Code for Marker Tape With Tracer Wire
Detectable marking tape is essential for safely identifying and protecting underground utilities. Each color has a specific meaning defined by the APWA (American Public Works Association) to ensure clarity and compliance during excavation. Here's a quick 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.

Applications
Detectable warning tape plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and protection of underground utilities across various industries. It's specifically designed for marking buried pipelines and cables to prevent accidental damage during excavation. Here’s how detectable warning tape is applied across different sectors:
- Energy Transmission
- Pipeline Type: Gas pipeline, oil pipeline
- Laying Depth: 30-50 cm above the top of the pipeline
- Application: Protects gas and oil pipelines from accidental damage during excavation by marking their location with detectable warning tape. This ensures a clear signal for any digging or construction activities above these vital pipelines.
- Municipal Engineering
- Pipeline Type: Tap water, drainage, heating pipelines
- Laying Depth: 30 cm above the top of the pipe
- Application: For municipal engineering projects, cable marker tape for buried cables is used to safeguard water supply lines, drainage systems, and heating pipelines. Detectable tape is essential in these environments to avoid disruptions during construction or maintenance.

- Power Communication
- Pipeline Type: High voltage cables, optical cables
- Laying Depth: 50 cm above the top of the pipeline
- Application: Detectable warning tapes with underground signal capabilities are placed above high voltage and optical cables. These tapes are critical for preventing accidental damage to power communication lines during digging and construction activities.
- Industrial Facilities
- Pipeline Type: Chemical liquid transportation pipeline
- Laying Depth: Customizable based on design requirements
- Application: In industrial environments, custom buried electric tracer tape is used for marking chemical pipelines. Depending on the design specifications, the laying depth of the tape can be customized, ensuring that workers can easily locate and avoid these potentially hazardous lines.
