The warning mesh is a simple yet essential product in groundworks operations, offering a clear method to flag underground service infrastructure before excavation. It is especially useful during utility surveys and excavation preparation stages. Whether marking out cable trenches or piping routes, this mesh prevents accidental strikes that could lead to injury, environmental damage, or costly shutdowns.Across the construction, utility, and civil sectors, it’s used to improve site awareness and enforce safety measures. Being weatherproof and tear-resistant, it performs reliably over extended periods, even when buried. The mesh installs rapidly with minimal labour, and its clear visual messaging makes it effective even in low-light conditions. It can also be used in conjunction with cable detection tools for an integrated utility protection strategy.
