Afternoon all.

Was wondering, when cables are run underground using mole/tunneling methods, how do people get around the requirement to mark underground cables with tape?

Easy, after the cable has been dragged through, you just dig a trench above to lay the tape?!!!

Sometimes above ground markers are put in to show where cables are buried
however, I think mostly the recomendation for marking tape is generally ignored.
