Description
Alert site workers and contractors to the presence of multiple buried utilities—electrical cables, gas pipes, water mains, telecommunications—with a single, universally recognised danger sign. Ideal for excavation sites, utility corridors, and properties where several services run underground. Manufactured in robust Colorbond steel or weather-resistant polypropylene, available in 300×450 mm or 450×600 mm. Both materials maintain colour and legibility in Australian outdoor conditions. Holes are pre-drilled for straightforward mounting on posts, fencing, or structures. Order from Platinum Signs with trade account benefits, bulk discounts, and Australia-wide delivery. Customisation available on request.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Is this sign suitable for all types of buried services?
Yes, the generic 'Services Buried Below' message covers electrical cables, gas pipes, water mains, and telecommunications in one sign. Use it where multiple utilities are present or the service type is uncertain.
What size works best for a typical construction site?
Available sizes are 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
How often should I replace these signs?
Inspect signs quarterly for fading, damage, or obscured text. Replace immediately if legibility is compromised, as faded signage may not convey the hazard effectively.
Can I order pre-drilled signs ready to install?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
