Protecting, marking and locating pipelines and utilities Underground pipes and cables are key to infrastructure and protecting these assets is essential. TERRAM solutions help protect from impact damage, help warn future excavators and allow the future detection of underground pipes and cables. TERRAM pipeline and utilities products are used extensively within the civil engineering industry to protect, identify, warn and locate pipes, cables and other buried services. TERRAM solutions include pipeline rock protection mesh, detectable tapes for marking buried underground utility pipes and...

Pipe protection from rock backfill Flexible mesh products are used in major pipeline projects to replace the thick sand collar that would traditionally have been placed to cushion the protective coating around a steel pipe. Sand is a primary resource and is not always available locally to an overland project. Even when it is, its bulk means there is a heavy environmental price to pay for its transportation. Sand requires plant for installation and it is difficult to place consistently around a pipe. A polymeric mesh is more compact to transport and it can be installed relatively quickly and...

Marking underground buried services Installed halfway between the service and the surface, warning tapes clearly alert future excavators of the danger beneath.

Marking underground buried services Detectable marking of underground buried services Underground buried pipes and cables can be marked with a warning mesh, designed to provide a visible warning to excavators, minimising potential damage to the services below. Plastic pipes, fibre optic cables and unenergised cables cannot be located using standard cable avoidance tools. A detectable underground warning tape allows traceability of the buried service, while warning of the danger beaneath to future rogue excavators Underground warning mesh Detectable warning tape Utilitape underground warning...

Detectable marking of underground buried services With a traceable stainless steel wire laminated between a printed underground warning tape and plastic mesh, underground services can be located using a CAT & Genny while providing a clearly visible warning of the danger below. Detectable mesh Common tape colours and warning messages CAUTION BURIED GAS PIPE CAUTION ELECTRIC CABLE BELOW CAUTION FIBRE OPTIC CABLES RAW WATER MAIN BELOW It can be located using standard cable and pipe locators used with non-metallic pipes and unenergised cables. The highly-visible mesh will show within the spoil...

Detectable marking of underground buried services Protecting cables and pipes underground Underground tapes with an aluminium foil tape are used to mark, warn and allow the detection of buried underground pipes and cables. Protecting cables and pipes from impact damage while warning future rogue excavators of the service line beneath is essential to protect these vital assets. TERRAM Ultrastrong detectable tape TERRAM Tapetile protection warning tape Ultrastrong is a polyethylene laminate with a strip of detectable aluminium foil at the centre. Tapetile is the next step up from a basic...

Protecting cables and pipes underground Heavy-duty, cable covers manufactured from recycled polyethylene are suitable for use with high-voltage power cables or other buried services which require additional protection such as fibre-optic cables, water and gas pipes. Interlocking, rigid uPVC covers to resist the impact of shovels or picks and protect underlying cables and pipelines. PE Cable protection covers Rigid uPVC cable covers Lightweight PE cable covers can be laminated with coloured tape pre-printed with a suitable warning message on the top surface. uPVC rigid cable covers can be...

Protecting cables and pipes underground Non-fading snap-fit utility marker plates Plastic meshes can be used to protect underground cables and pipes where a highly visible wide width of protection is required against future impact damage. Manufactured from Luran-S copolymer for continuous external exposure, these plates are efficient, economic and versatile for marking the positions of fire hydrants, water valves, sewers, gas valves and street lighting columns in a clear and coherent format. Cable and pipe protection mesh Marker plates TERRAM cable and pipeline protection mesh is...
