    How to flag / protect on a moled cable ?

    I have been told in the past ( All be a builder that wanted the job instead ! ) that it is illegal to mole cables underground as you can not install a marker tape with it ! What thoughts do others have on this one ? Thanks in advance if you reply . Dave
