EXAMPLE PIPELINE MARKING END EMS MARKER

Warning tapes, warning – detection tapes in the buried utilities marking system.

Increasing amount of projects in telecommunica-tion, gas engineering, water supply systems, power in-dustry and other branches causes more concentration of different utilities mainly made of plastics. It brings significant difficulties in detecting relevant cables and pipes.

Precise knowledge of the kind and location of key and sore points of the network is necessary for its failure-free work. Using warning and detection tapes along the pipelines and cables as well as additional marking in sore points such as network crossings, jun-ctions at buildings, connections, branching boxes, watercourses, roads etc makes it possible. A layout diagram of the warning and detection tape and exam-ple galvanic method of its location is presented in the drawing.

Tape for certain network incorporation in the works should have the colour to conform to the standard (the colour must correspond with the network). The tape may have an inscription usually in black, also to conform to conditions in force (example: ATTENTION! OPTOTELECOMMUNICATION CABLE, ATTENTION! WA-TER MAINS, GAS, and others). The PTS Rabka Company created a marking system using warning and warning - detection tapes.

Advantages of the marking and detection marking system:• early warning on possible mechanical damage of network during works;• role of the detection factor – possibility of precise detection of the route and depth of the pipeline (installation);• EMS markers – possibility of detecting sore points and crossings with other network.

TAPES for the Telecommunication are in the colour orange and have an inscription: ATTENTION OPTOTELE-COMMUNICATION CABLE OR ATTENTION TELECOMMUNICA-TION CABLE.

Production is based on top quality raw materials, which provide high durability and mechanical strength as well as tapes resistivity to the aggressive soil factors influence.

Applying the insert made of the acid resistant steel in tapes for fibre optic cable marking provides easy and reliable detection of the route.

Tapes have necessary opinions and certificates required for materials applied for telecommunication lines construction.

Tapes for marking gas grids by applying steel insert similar as in the case of tapes for telecommunication network provide easy and reliable detection. Yellow, clear colour of the tapes assures identification in case of digging it out by an excavator and therefore avoiding damage to the gas grid. For the sake of safety assurance the tape is perforated lengthwise which protects from liquids and gas accumulation. Both tapes for marking gas grids and telecommunication network have inscription on the tape lengthwise, which allows easy and quick identi-fication of the network.

Marking system in conformance with ZN–G 3001: 2001 standard involves application of sets of two tapes: • Warning tape • Detection tape (with acid resistant insert)

Marking the underground power networks with warning tapes is of a great importance especially for the reason of great danger to human lives in case of cables damage. Tapes for underground power systems marking are manufactured in two colours: • BLUE for cables of voltage rating below 1 kV, • RED for cables of voltage rating over 1 kV.

Colouring and thickness of tapes applied for marking power networks conform to standards relevant to vol-tage rating of the network. Raw materials and materials used for such tapes production provide top quality and resi-stance.

The big concentration of water supply systems espe-cially in urban areas makes the problem of marking its routes special significance. Warning tapes and warning - detection tapes used for water supply systems marking may be a solution here. It gives the possibility of early warning about the water supply system and therefore pro-tect from water pipes damage. Application of acid resis-tant steel insert provides easy detection of the network. This solution may also be utilised for sewage and drainage systems. Similar to the water supply systems, marking of the thermal power engineering also becomes of special importance in urban areas. In case of accidental damage of networks protection we use warning and warning-dete-ction tapes for thermal power engineering in the colour of green-white. Easy network detection is achieved by using tapes with steel insert.

MARKING AND MEASURING POSTS

Red-white, black-yellow and blue-white warning tapes are widely used for barricading of dangerous work and earthworks. It is possi-ble to make additional inscription stating the name, address of the investor or contractor in the white field. The warning tapes are highly durable and mechanically strong. High quality of the tapes results from using top quality raw materials.

BARRICADE TAPES

Marking and measuring posts are used for marking the route of underground installations (such as gas, water and other) and for installing in them instruments for monitoring those installations. They are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) of circular section. They are comprised of a body of a diameter of 140 mm fitted with a universal bracket used for installing various equipment, a lockable cap of a diameter of 160 mm and a plastic base with X-shaped bars. The plastic base makes cable or tape connections easy and ensures an easy and stable housing of the post in the ground.

STREET BOXES

Street boxes are used for taking out a tape or alocating medium from the ground to the surface (of the street, pavement etc.). They prove perfect in densely built-up areas.

CABLE DISPENSING UNIT

CABLE BOXES

Cable Dispensing Unit is made by rotational moulding of medium-density polyethylene. This product is designed for use in 2-,3- and 4-pipe cable conduit systems. MATERIAL: Cable Dispensing Unit is made of medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) -- specific gravity not less than 940 kg/m3,- Melt Flow Rate (MFR): 3.2-9.0 g/10 min,- ultimate unit elongation: min 350%. COLOUR: Black.

PTS cable boxes are distinguished by their size, contents and capacity. They can be used depending on cable capacity or pipe section in primary or secondary sewerage. They were designed for installation in storage bins, cable posts and wells as well as cable boxes for carrying out connections on telecommunications copper buried and aerial cables and power cables.
