Boddingtons supplies a large range of plastic based products for use in pipeline and general safety applications. Boddingtons is the supplier of leading brands like WAVELAY® detectable underground warning tapes, DETECTAMESH® detectable underground warning mesh, SUPERSTRONG® and MAXITAPE® warning tape, and EUROMESH® barrier mesh.

For the pipeline industry Boddingtons manufacture and distribute plastic underground warning tapes and meshes for all pipeline applications. These products are available in detectable and non-detectable forms and are manufactured from rot resistant virgin polyethylene and polypropylene plastics. The detectable tapes and meshes have a stainless steel tracer wire embedded within the plastic product to ensure long life, strength and optimum detectability.

Boddingtons WAVELAY® detectable warning tape was exclusively used for the Nextgen and Amcom optic fibre projects. Over 12,500 km of WAVELAY® detectable underground warning tape was supplied for these two projects in 3 km drums delivered to remote parts of Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.

Other major pipeline owners and contractors who use Boddingtons products are Origin Energy, Energex, Agility, Energy Australia, Santos, Optus, Visionstream, Nacap, McConnell Dowell, Leightons, and Clough Lucas.

Boddingtons has recently purchased a shareholding in an established plastic mesh manufacturer in China, which operates Netlon mesh extruding lines. This is a very exciting investment for Boddingtons. It gives Boddingtons the opportunity to expand its product range to include specialised mesh products such as ROCKSHIELD and Pipe and Cable Protection Mesh.

ROCKSHIELD is wrapped around underground pipes as protection of the coating systems on the pipe when they are buried underground. Pipe and Cable Protection Mesh is buried above the underground pipeline or cable to provide added protection and is manufactured in highly visible colours such as Yellow and Orange. Boddingtons also supply solid plastic cable covers and tape tile for underground pipe and cable protection.

Boddingtons is an authorised distributor of the full range 3M Dynatel Advanced Cable and Pipe Locators as well as the 3M range of M-series locating and marking systems.
