French term or phrase: Grillage Avertisseur
Does anyone know how to translate "GRILLAGE AVERTISSEUR" into English or Portuguese?

It's used in construction, it's a type of net used in different colors to indicate what's to be set there: water, electricity, gas...

Example: "Le Grillage Avertisseur de couleur Bleu indique [...]"

Thanks in advance.

agree  Tony M: Although 'grillage' is one special kind of 'tape'. Note too that, depending on the context, it may or may not be advisable / desirable to retain the notion of 'warning'.
