Standard caution tape serves no purpose when typical underground gas lines are installed shallow enough to be struck by excavation on the first penetration of ground. Standard caution tape also commonly fails to notify the excavator because it is easily broken and missed due to its random placement in a trench over utility lines. 

Shovel Barrier has the ability to bring excavation to a halt by having strategic placement and acting as a actual barrier over utility lines. A woven geotextile with an extreme breaking strength, Shovel Barrier adds significant protection, warns, and can be used to locate any underground utility line it is installed over.
