# Damage Prevention Solutions
> Damage Prevention Solutions works with utility companies to address the challenges they face that drive costly and preventable damages year after year. These damages to underground utilities are more than an inconvenience; they are a safety risk that can endanger crews, delay projects, and disrupt communities and the reliability of infrastructure. As a developer and manufacturer, Damage Prevention Solutions develops specialized marking and warning tapes to improve visibility, support accurate identification, and help crews work with greater confidence and efficiency, whether the job involves open trench, HDD installation, or temporary above-ground lines.
