Underground Warning Tape

Premium Underground Warning Tape: Detectable & Non-Detectable Solutions

Custom Tape Ltd is a leading manufacturer of high-quality underground warning tape. Our range includes both non-detectable and detectable underground tape designed to highlight buried pipes and cables, allowing construction teams to identify underground systems quickly. Implementing these warning tapes significantly improves workplace safety and reduces the risk of costly excavation errors.

Proudly manufactured in the UK, our innovative detectable underground warning tape features two integrated steel wires. This design allows for precise tracing from above ground, streamlining the location of underground systems and eliminating time-wasting guesswork during site maintenance.
