S For Story/10422531
COLUMBUS, Ohio - s4story -- In a vigilant effort to reduce the adverse effects associated with the damage of buried utilities, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) recently updated the 2019 Construction and Materials Specification Manual, which includes specific changes related to underground warning/marking tape.
A significant change to take note of is the requirement to "Furnish tape with a break strength of at least 3000 lb (1361 kg) when tested to ASTM D6775."
Signaltape XT, manufactured by Damage Prevention Solutions, LLC, meets the new ODOT specifications. For more information related to Signaltape, visit www.damageprevention.com.
There are two new specifications related to underground warning/marking tape; the full specifications are outlined below and reflect the exact language from page 524 and page 790 of the ODOT Construction and Materials Specification Manual.
