This gas detection mesh helps safeguard underground service networks by marking and tracing the position of buried gas pipe infrastructure. Featuring a bright colour and integrated tracer wire, the mesh allows ground teams to detect hazards before digging. It supports compliance with standard excavation protocols and is ideal for construction and utility sectors focused on safety and damage prevention.
- Tracer-enabled visibility - Easily locatable using cable detection tools to trace buried gas pipe layouts.
- Works in harsh soil types - Resists damage from acidic and alkaline environments for long-term reliability.
- Conforms to regulations - Certified to ENA TS 12-23 and EN 12613:2009 standards for underground service mesh solutions.
- Prevents costly outages - Reduces risk of damaging vital gas pipelines during groundwork operations.
- Fast deployment - Supplied in bulk rolls for quick installation across project sites.
This mesh is commonly deployed in advance of excavation projects to clearly identify underground service locations. Its use is critical when mapping or maintaining buried gas pipe infrastructure, especially in heavily trafficked construction zones. The bright mesh offers early warning to operatives while the embedded tracer wire supports non-intrusive detection using standard site scanning equipment.
From utilities to civil engineering applications, the mesh is a preventative tool to help meet safety standards and avoid pipeline disruption. Its strong construction and approved design meet the operational needs of UK contractors working with underground services. Durable, efficient, and regulation-compliant, it enables proactive risk management at every phase of excavation and trenching work.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Underground Service Protection, Groundworks, Ground Mats & Road Plates conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

This gas detection mesh is widely used across the construction and utility sectors. It provides a protective signal layer above buried gas pipe infrastructure, making it easier to identify and avoid during excavation. Each mesh roll is strong yet flexible enough to install in a range of soil conditions, from industrial plots to highways and large-scale building sites.
As part of essential underground service protection plans, this mesh helps meet safety compliance while preventing pipeline ruptures that could lead to downtime, danger, or regulatory penalties. Tracer wire integration ensures precise gas line tracking without physical excavation, supporting teams in both planned works and emergency response.
The mesh meets industry-standard testing for tensile strength and is certified for use in public infrastructure projects. With clear messaging, high-contrast colouration, and rugged construction, it provides peace of mind for those managing gas-related assets underground. Every roll supports safer, smarter excavation.
