Tracer wire is compromised by damage from a single event. This is especially a concern in areas that are congested and at a greater risk of repeat damages.
When Signaltape® Underground Warning Tape and tracer wire are used together there is still a damage prevention system in place if the tracer wire is damaged by noncompliance or otherwise compromised.
Signaltape® can either be embedded with tracer wire or the two can be used together; this combination allows for an industry standardized location technology along with the best last line of defense against excavation damage.
