Designed for high-risk excavation zones, this underground warning mesh delivers a visible and detectable barrier to mark critical utility routes. With electric cable below posing hazards during trenching, the integrated tracer wire allows cable detection tools to accurately locate buried services before digging starts. This safeguards underground service networks and prevents unnecessary service disruption.
Approved to ENA TS 12-23 and EN 12613:2009 standards, this mesh is compliant with the requirements of utility contractors, DNOs, and civil engineering professionals.
- Integrated tracer wire - Detects underground cable paths before excavation, reducing strike risk.
- 200mm wide mesh profile - Ensures full trench width coverage above service lines.
- Bright, visible colour - Colour-coded for instant service recognition and safety compliance.
- Suitable for mixed services - Used in electric, gas, water, fibre, and telecom infrastructure.
- 100m roll format - Supplied in contractor-ready rolls for quick deployment.
Used across civil, utility and infrastructure projects, this mesh supports responsible underground service protection. From electric cable below road crossings to fibre networks beneath housing developments, its application helps mitigate risk and increase safety. Detection from the surface eliminates blind digging, streamlining installation and reducing liability.
Built from soil-resistant polyethylene, the mesh retains structural integrity even in acidic or alkaline environments. Its visibility ensures compliance with excavation guidance, reinforcing CDM strategies and keeping workers and the public safe. Suitable for both public realm works and remote service routing, the product is trusted in new-build and retrofit utility zones.
Whether used above live electric services, fibre comms, or gas feeds, the electrical warning mesh plays a vital role in delivering compliance, visibility and peace of mind for contractors and clients alike.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Underground Service Protection, Groundworks, Ground Mats & Road Plates conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

This detectable mesh offers site teams an effective way to flag underground service lines, improving site safety and excavation efficiency. The embedded tracer wire enables pre-excavation checks using cable locators, helping avoid accidental strikes to electric cable below or other critical services.
Used extensively in highways, telecom, energy, and housebuilding schemes, this product supports electrical warning tape strategies and CDM compliance. Its colour-coded visibility provides immediate guidance during trench works and reinstatement.
Installation is simple: the mesh is placed directly above the service in trench backfill, typically 150–300mm from the surface. Its 100m roll format allows large areas to be protected quickly, and the 200mm width ensures ample trench coverage without compromise. Polyethylene construction resists wear and degradation in a wide range of soil conditions.
By integrating surface-detectable warning mesh into underground planning, project managers mitigate disruption, reduce rework, and demonstrate best practice. It's particularly valuable in environments where multiple utilities intersect, reducing confusion and ensuring accurate strike avoidance processes are followed.
When electric cable below the surface must be flagged for excavation, this warning mesh becomes an essential safety layer. From dense urban networks to remote power corridors, it offers reliable detection, visibility and resilience.
What is detectable warning mesh used for?
It identifies the location of underground service lines like electric cable below using tracer wire.
