Gas & Propane
Accurate detection of buried natural gas and propane lines can mean the difference between life and death. Despite the severe consequences, the number of damages caused by excavation hits and inaccurate locates is still too high. This damage can be prevented with proper selection and installation of line tracing products paired with precise locates.
Pinpoint the location of underground gas and propane lines with a strong, reliable, American-made tracer wire system from Copperhead®.
The Complete Utility Locating System® for Gas and Propane
Gas lines are potentially the most dangerous buried utilities and yet account for 40% of the estimated number of facilities damaged in the U.S. each year. To avoid damage, facility owners are required to install tracer wire along with gas pipe for future locatability. But tracer wire for gas lines alone is not enough. A complete system including ground rods, connectors, and access points ensures that the locate signal is carried along the entire target line.
In addition to safety and damage prevention, Copperhead® understands the importance of standards, approvals, and regulatory compliance. That’s why we developed best practices for selecting and installing a tracer wire system that will meet regulatory requirements and best protect your buried gas lines.
