Designed for clear visibility and reinforced protection, this underground service cable roll outperforms traditional warning tape by delivering long-term strength and legibility. Manufactured from recycled polyethylene, it features a thick, durable structure that resists tearing and shattering, even under demanding trench conditions. Supplied in 40m rolls, it ensures fast deployment and uninterrupted coverage for utility teams working with power, gas, water or telecom infrastructure.
Bright and bold in design, this cable cover roll acts as both a visual warning and a reliable protective layer, reducing the risk of strikes and service interruptions. It is approved by UK DNOs, giving contractors confidence when working to regulated utility standards. With certifications including BS EN ISO 527-2:2012 and BS EN ISO 1183-1:2019, the roll meets critical mechanical and material performance benchmarks.
- Suitable for all major utilities - Protects underground service lines including electric, telecom, gas and water.
- 40m continuous roll - Speeds up trench lining and reduces jointing points.
- Easy to apply - Flexible design unrolls smoothly along trench beds or cable routes.
- Enhanced safety signage - Colour and messaging help signal buried cable below to site teams.
- Tested for tensile and density - Compliant with key British Standards.
This product is particularly useful for linear installations where trench length makes rigid covers inefficient or impractical. The underground service cable cover roll provides consistent warning markings across distances, reducing the need for re-alignment or re-taping. From broadband networks to public utility upgrades, it’s ideal for fibre, power, or ducting installations in high-traffic or high-risk areas.
Thanks to its DNO-approved build and durable polyethylene construction, it supports regulatory compliance while lowering operational risk. Contractors can rely on it to preserve underground cable integrity while communicating hazard presence to excavation teams. Whether used as a primary cable protection tool or alongside tile-based options, it is an essential safety layer for ground-based cable protection strategies.
