Tracer Wire
Tracer wire is a key element of damage prevention when it comes to the installation of buried pipe and other lines. Also known as locator wire, tracer wire is essential to locating buried pipeline most commonly in the utilities industries. Pipeline construction companies installing gas, water, sewer and fiber optic lines rely on the locating signal for accurate dig locations for repairs, maintenance or replacement.
Tracer wire has several different constructions to accommodate the demands of the installation method including open cut (open trench), directional drilling and pipe bursting. Agave Wire has developed BoreTough tracer wire specifically designed to meet the requirements of all applications. See below to learn more about what products are designed for your installation method.
Open Trench/Direct Burial
When the job site permits and the ground above the utilities can be either trenched or plowed, BoreTough™ High Strength CCS tracer wire is the popular choice.
Directional Drilling
When your job site contains buildings, roads, sidewalks, or anything you cannot trench, bring out the directional drills. Agave Wire developed BoreTough™ Extra High Strength reinforced tracer wire to have exceptional break load strength, making it perfect for drilling. Stop using multiple wires and get the job done the first time with this tried-and-tested product.
