Stokbord® cable coversHeavy duty tiles manufactured from recycled plastic that provide highly visible warnings and good impact protection from excavation tools and machinery. Stokbord cable covers are widely used to protect buried high voltage cables and other utilities in many parts of the world. Easy to handle and install, they offer a much higher level of protection than alternative systems.

Tapetile®Combines a highly visible warning plus a measure of protection in one system. Tapetile is a thin, coloured warning tape which is laminated to a thicker polyethylene sheet. Supplied on the roll, it is easy to handle and install but provides a measure of protection from tools and machinery in addition to a clear visual warning to excavators. Ideal for lower voltage electric cables and other utilities.

Including everything from screen printed self-adhesive vinyl to injection moulded signs that carry a 15-year guarantee, the range comprises warning and safety signs, identification, information and location signs, street lighting signs and datum markers.
