Cable Covers
LV MV HV cable covers, Tapetiles and underground warning tapes are installed over LV, MV and HV power cables in trench and ducted cable installations with high visibility colour providing a visual warning of danger when excavating cables. 11kV and 33kV cable protection tapes (Tapetile tiles and Stokbord covers) are manufactured from heavy duty plastic for reliable protection of underground medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) cables.
Stokbord cable covers are utility protection tiles approved and specified by international energy and electricity providers. Cable covers are highly visible and prevent damage to buried high voltage cables and other services including gas, water and telecoms.
