3M 7000133193 Detectable Buried Barricade Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7000133193 is a detectable buried barricade tape from the Scotch 400 Series, engineered for underground utility marking applications. This tape is designed to be buried above utility lines and conduit to alert excavators and contractors to the presence of fiber optic infrastructure below. Its detectable construction allows locating equipment to identify its position without excavation, helping protect critical fiber optic lines from accidental damage during dig operations. Utility contractors and locating technicians use this tape as a standard layer of protection in underground installation work.

This barricade tape is suited for use in telecommunications and data infrastructure projects where fiber optic lines are buried underground. It is installed horizontally above the utility line during the backfill phase of trenching operations. The tape serves as a passive warning marker visible to anyone who disturbs the soil above the utility, and its detectable properties allow equipment-based locating from the surface. Typical applications include municipal utility corridors, commercial site buildouts, and telecom infrastructure installations.
