Why we're here:
Damages to utilities are more than an inconvenience, they become a safety risk that can endanger crews, delay projects, and disrupt the communities that depend on reliable infrastructure.
At Damage Prevention Solutions, we help utility companies address the persistent challenges that drive costly and preventable damages year after year. Our marking and warning tapes are designed to improve visibility, support accurate identification, and help crews work with greater confidence and efficiency to reduce preventable damages, whether the job involves open trench, HDD installation, or temporary above-ground lines.
From engineering through production, every product we manufacture is built to perform under real-world conditions. Field trials, rigorous material testing, and close collaboration with utility professionals inform how our tapes are constructed to support the professionals tasked with protecting critical infrastructure.
