PTS RABKA – TRADE AND PRODUCTION COMPANY
The PTS Rabka Company is a manufacturer of top
quality warning and warning-detection tapes for marking telecommunication, gas, sewage and energy systems.
The PTS Rabka Company has been established in
1991. In the year 1992 the Company was the first to
start manufacturing tapes with the detection element
– tape of acid resistant steel - in the Polish market.
Considering continuous development requirement as
well as meeting customer’s expectations the Company
opened in the year 1999 a new, modern productionoffice complex in Rokiciny Podhalafskie.

MARKING AND DETECTION SYSTEMS
Warning tapes, warning – detection tapes in the
buried utilities marking system.
Tape for certain network incorporation in the works
should have the colour to conform to the standard
(the colour must correspond with the network). The
tape may have an inscription usually in black, also to
conform to conditions in force (example: ATTENTION!
OPTOTELECOMMUNICATION CABLE, ATTENTION! WATER MAINS, GAS, and others). The PTS Rabka Company
created a marking system using warning and warning detection tapes.
Increasing amount of projects in telecommunication, gas engineering, water supply systems, power industry and other branches causes more concentration
of different utilities mainly made of plastics. It brings
significant difficulties in detecting relevant cables and
pipes.
Advantages of the marking and detection marking
system:
• early warning on possible mechanical damage of
network during works;
• role of the detection factor –
possibility of precise detection
of the route and depth of the
pipeline (installation);
• EMS markers – possibility of
detecting sore points and
crossings with other network.
Precise knowledge of the kind and location of key
and sore points of the network is necessary for its
failure-free work. Using warning and detection tapes
along the pipelines and cables as well as additional
marking in sore points such as network crossings, junctions at buildings, connections, branching boxes,
watercourses, roads etc makes it possible. A layout
diagram of the warning and detection tape and example galvanic method of its location is presented in the
drawing.

TELECOMMUNICATION
TAPES for the Telecommunication are in the colour
orange and have an inscription: ATTENTION OPTOTELECOMMUNICATION CABLE OR ATTENTION TELECOMMUNICATION CABLE.
Production is based on top quality raw materials,
which provide high durability and mechanical strength
as well as tapes resistivity to the aggressive soil factors
influence.
Applying the insert made of the acid resistant steel
in tapes for fibre optic cable marking provides easy and
reliable detection of the route.
Tapes have necessary opinions and certificates
required for materials applied for telecommunication
lines construction.

GAS
Tapes for marking gas grids by applying steel insert
similar as in the case of tapes for telecommunication
network provide easy and reliable detection. Yellow,
clear colour of the tapes assures identification in case
of digging it out by an excavator and therefore avoiding
damage to the gas grid. For the sake of safety assurance
the tape is perforated lengthwise which protects from
liquids and gas accumulation. Both tapes for marking gas
grids and telecommunication network have inscription on
the tape lengthwise, which allows easy and quick identification of the network.
Marking system in conformance with ZN–G 3001: 2001
standard involves application of sets of two tapes:
• Warning tape • Detection tape
(with acid resistant insert)

POWER ENGINEERING
Marking the underground power networks with
warning tapes is of a great importance especially for the
reason of great danger to human lives in case of cables
damage. Tapes for underground power systems marking
are manufactured in two colours:
• BLUE for cables of voltage rating below 1 kV,
• RED for cables of voltage rating over 1 kV.
Colouring and thickness of tapes applied for marking
power networks conform to standards relevant to voltage rating of the network. Raw materials and materials
used for such tapes production provide top quality and
resi-stance. TAPE DESCRIPTION

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND THERMAL POWER ENGINEERING
The big concentration of water supply systems especially in urban areas makes the problem of marking its
routes special significance. Warning tapes and warning detection tapes used for water supply systems marking
may be a solution here. It gives the possibility of early
warning about the water supply system and therefore protect from water pipes damage. Application of acid resistant steel insert provides easy detection of the network.
This solution may also be utilised for sewage and drainage
systems.
Similar to the water supply systems, marking of the
thermal power engineering also becomes of special
importance in urban areas. In case of accidental damage
of networks protection we use warning and warning-detection tapes for thermal power engineering in the colour
of green-white. Easy network detection is achieved by
using tapes with steel insert.

BARRICADE TAPES
Red-white, black-yellow and blue-white
warning tapes are widely used for barricading
of dangerous work and earthworks. It is possible to make additional inscription stating the
name, address of the investor or contractor in
the white field. The warning tapes are highly
durable and mechanically strong. High quality
of the tapes results from using top quality raw
materials.

MARKING AND MEASURING POSTS
Marking and measuring posts are used for
marking the route of underground installations
(such as gas, water and other) and for installing
in them instruments for monitoring those
installations. They are made of high density
polyethylene (HDPE) of circular section. They
are comprised of a body of a diameter of 140
mm fitted with a universal bracket used for
installing various equipment, a lockable cap of
a diameter of 160 mm and a plastic base with
X-shaped bars. The plastic base makes cable or
tape connections easy and ensures an easy and
stable housing of the post in the ground.
STREET BOXES
Street boxes are used for taking out a tape
or alocating medium from the ground to the
surface (of the street, pavement etc.). They
prove perfect in densely built-up areas.
CABLE DISPENSING UNIT
Cable Dispensing Unit is made by rotational
moulding of medium-density polyethylene. This
product is designed for use in 2-,3- and 4-pipe
cable conduit systems.
MATERIAL: Cable Dispensing Unit is made of
medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) - specific gravity not less than 940 kg/m3,
- Melt Flow Rate (MFR): 3.2-9.0 g/10 min,
- ultimate unit elongation: min 350%.
COLOUR: Black.
CABLE BOXES
PTS cable boxes are distinguished by their
size, contents and capacity. They can be used
depending on cable capacity or pipe section
in primary or secondary sewerage. They were
designed for installation in storage bins, cable
posts and wells as well as cable boxes for carrying
out connections on telecommunications copper
buried and aerial cables and power cables.
ANTICORROSION MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES
Materials for anticorrosion protection: steel, cast iron
pipelines and tanks. Multilayer, selfadhesive tapes, Anticor Plast, plastic materials, Raychem, Vogelsang, shrink
materials, coatings for pipes “hot” applied polyurethane
(PU), primers and filling masses, machines and devices
for anticorrosion coatings application.
We offer anticorrosion materials and technologies
which provide 100% eliminating breakdowns protection
of work of underground and overground pipelines, gas,
water, fuel containers and similar.
Materials offered by “PTS Rabka” constitute final
products - anticorrosion coatings working in various temperatures and mechanical loading, in different chemical
environments, where they have to satisfied the extreme
requirements e.g. non-flammability, resistance to UV radiation and similar.
”PTS Rabka” coatings meet the requirements set
by Polish and international standards. They possess the
required technical approvals, certificates and permissions.
Polyethylene wraps
The company „PTS” Rabka specialises in the production of LDPE wraps from the primary raw material and
from granulated mass. We produce the following types
of wraps: tape, semi-sleeve (a sleeve cut on one side),
sleeve, sleeve with one or two tucks (folds). The above
wraps can be thermoshrinking.
We dye our products to any colour selected by the
customer. We also make flexographic printed inscriptions
or designs up to a print width of 700 mm.
Our offer includes also a full range of bags for collection and segregation of rubbish.
