Tracer wires provide irreplaceable benefits to buried infrastructure: pipelines and cables especially. They offer detection capabilities for locating critical utilities, which help ensure that they are unimpeded by future construction and able to be swiftly inspected and maintained. As such, tracer wire failures are costly and pose a severe risk to personal health and safety.
Improving Trace Wire Service Life by Addressing Splicing Failure

In the underground utility environment, tracer wire is placed to protect all dielectric utilities from damage. Fiber optic cable, water, natural gas, sewer -- all are within plastic pipes that require the use of TRACE-SAFE® tracer wires to accurately identify their positions for the purpose of preventing damage or catastrophic accidents.
