Water supply and sewage systems
Marking of water supply and sewage networks
Water supply and sewage infrastructure increases dramatically from year to year throughout the country. For this reason, proper network protection becomes a challenge. The high density of networks, including telecommunication, power and gas networks, is becoming an additional difficulty today. Although the solutions used for marking and protecting water supply and sewage systems have been almost unchanged for years, the quality of specific products and the accompanying modern technology are definitely changing. In addition to the function of marking underground networks, products in this category range are also used to locate networks and assess their condition.

Water supply and sewage systems – what does a complete marking and network security consist of?
The basis of a marking and security system of water supply and sewage networks are ground warning (marking and measuring) posts and underground warning tapes. To diagnose the condition of a network and its location, warning and measuring posts and warning and location tapes are used, which have a slightly different structure – they have embedded metal inserts, thanks to which it is possible to send a signal to both marking and measuring posts and manual ground locators.
For water supply networks, 20 cm wide tapes are used for pipelines with a diameter smaller than or equal to 250 mm; and 40 cm wide tapes are used for pipelines with larger diameters exceeding 250 mm. It is important that the tapes are laid at least at a height of 30 cm above a water or sewage pipe. Warning and location tapes at the ends of the lines emerge above the ground running into the sockets of warning and measuring posts, which are blue and intended for sewage and water supply systems.
