PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a fixation method in which a locating wire is fixed to the surface of an underground buried pipe, which enhances a working efficiency to display a conduit and which prevents conduit indication information from being lost when a pipe is pulled into the ground. SOLUTION: Conduit indication information 25 on a laying constructor 24 or the like is displayed on the surface of a fixation tape 23 in which a locating wire 22 is fixed to the outer circumferential face of a polyethylene(PE) pipe 21. Only by fixing the locating wire 22 by the fixation tape 23, a required conduit indication can be performed, it is not required to wind a tape on which conduit indication information is displayed separately, and an operating efficiency can be enhanced. Since the conduit indicating information 25 is displayed on the fixation tape 23 which is bonded firmly to the surface of the PE pipe 21, the conduit indication information 25 can be left surely on the outer circumferential face of the PE pipe 21, even when an operation to pull the PE pipe 21 into the ground is performed.
