Buried plastic pipe does not show up on a locator. WAVELAY does.

WAVELAY Detectable Warning Tape carries a stainless steel tracer wire laid in a wave pattern so a cable avoidance tool can pick up non-metallic pipes and un-energised cables. The wave lets the wire stretch and flex with ground movement instead of snapping, and the top printguard layer keeps the warning message and the wire locked in place.

Lay it halfway between the service and the surface, and the next crew gets a warning before they reach the line. https://www.tapexindustrial.com.au/detectable-tape/

An unlocatable line is a liability you bury yourself.
Non-metallic pipe can't be traced without a reliable tracer wire system, and the right wire depends on how you're putting it in the ground. Copperhead® copper-clad steel (CCS) delivers the strength of steel with the conductivity of copper, an intelligent alternative to solid copper that stands up to installation forces.

Match your installation method to the right wire:
▪ Open Cut → High Strength or SuperFlex™
▪ Directional Drill → SoloShot™ Extra-High Strength
▪ Pipe Burst → SoloShot™ Xtreme

Most underground strikes are avoidable.

A strike is rarely bad luck. It usually comes down to whether the buried service was marked, and whether it can still be found once the trench is closed.

Underground warning tape, mesh and tracer wire cover both. They warn the crew before the spade goes in, and they let a locator find the line long after backfill.

That is exactly what the DIGSAFE range is for. Visit www.tapexindustrial.com.au to learn more.

Rocky backfill is hard on pipeline coating.

Sharp rock in the backfill can abrade or puncture a pipe's coating. Once the coating is breached, the cathodic protection is interrupted and corrosion takes hold.

Pipe Armour Rock Shield is a heavy-duty mesh that wraps the pipe, cushioning the coating from the fill. It keeps protecting against sharp stones long after backfill, through ground movement.

Termites can end a tracer wire's working life.

When termites chew through wire insulation, the wire is exposed to corrosion and the locate signal drops off. Our Termite-Resistant Tracer Wire adds a termite-resistant nylon sheath that they cannot chew through, so the line stays locatable for years.

Protecting what's buried is what we do, from the first trench to years down the track.

Every underground service has a life. It goes in, gets backfilled, and one day a crew needs to find it again without putting a spade through it. That is what DIG SAFE covers, from end to end:

▪ Mark it, so the next crew knows it is there
▪ Protect it, so backfill and excavation cannot reach it
▪ Keep it findable, long after the trench is closed

Excavation safety and utility protection, handled end-to-end and trusted on major gas, electricity, water and telco projects across Australia.

Most site incidents don't happen because of bad intentions. They happen because boundaries weren't clear.

Barrier fencing works when it's built for the environment it's placed in. UV-stabilised and easy to install across varying site conditions.

Overpipe protection plates serve two key purposes:

🚧 Protect buried pipelines with a physical barrier
👷 Warn machinery operators with a clear visual signal

Connected plates are designed to lift together if one is struck, alerting crews before pipelines are reached. Correct connections are essential for this system to work effectively. Built for longevity, the connectors are corrosion‑free and last the full warranty life of the plates.

Simple design. Smarter, safer excavation.

Underground work creates a problem that outlasts the job. Once a cable or pipe is buried, the next crew has no way of knowing it's there unless something was put in place to warn them.

WAVELAY® detectable warning tape includes a sinusoidal tracer wire that makes buried services locatable long after installation.

Clear warnings. Reliable detection.

When a gas line can't be accurately located, the consequences go beyond delays.

This short animation shows how a complete locating circuit works – what products are involved, how the signal travels, and how it all comes together before excavation starts.
