Accurate utility locates are not only a requirement but are the foundation for a safe and efficient construction or excavation project. At Damage Prevention Solutions, we understand the critical role that precision plays in utility marking, which has led us to integrate location devices into our marking tapes, presenting a holistic solution to enhance utility location management.

Why complicate your procurement process when you can achieve both damage prevention and location accuracy with a single product? Our marking tapes are available equipped with embedded location devices, providing you with a comprehensive solution for your utility marking needs. This not only simplifies the procurement process but also ensures easy installation, saving your team valuable time and resources.

Our commitment to meeting diverse needs of each project is reflected in our range of locatable underground warning tapes, each tailored to specific project needs:

Signaltape® Underground Warning Tape:

Created for open-trench installations, Signaltape® contains an anti-shearing core which allows the tape to pull to the surface without shearing underground. This technology can optionally be combined with an integrated tracer wire to create a detectable tape.

Tracetape™ Detectable Marking Tape:

Ideal for open-trench installation, Tracetape™ combines the benefits of traditional marking tape with integrated tracer wire to create a detectable marking tape more durable than foil-based alternatives.

Boretrace™ Detectable Marking Tape:

Designed for directional drilling projects, Boretrace™ offers a practical custom labeling option to ensure accurate communication in the field.

Strategic Collaboration with 3M:

In our commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions, we've collaborated with 3M to integrate radiofrequency (RF) path markers into the 3M™ Electronic Marking System (EMS) Warning Tape 7900 Series. This collaboration ensures that our customers benefit from the latest technology, combining the trusted quality of 3M with our expertise in durable underground marking solutions.

Advantages of Our Detectable Marking and Warning Tapes:

Explore the range of features and applications that make our marking tapes stand out:
