Learn more about 3M’s utility locating products, line locator industry solutions, or utility locator resources.
Communications Cable Locating
Quickly pinpoint the location of buried facilities with the 3M™ Electronic Marker System (EMS) for Telephone. Using 3M EMS markers during construction, installation and maintenance virtually eliminates the time consuming search for hard-to-locate facilities. Markers used for communications location are colour-coded to APWA standards for visual reference and have their own frequency, helping reduce the risk of accidentally locating and excavating other buried facilities. For communications utilities, all telephone locator markers are orange and CATV markers are orange/black.
3M EMS telecom cable locator series can be used to locate:
Buried splices of all types
Buried service drops
Bends: changes of direction, arcs
Depth changes: lateral deflection
Fibre optic facilities with no metallic conductor
Encasement ends: conduit ends of horizontally directional drilled facilities
Manhole covers
Crossings: Water, road and rail
Gas Pipe Locating
Save time and money by quickly pinpointing the location of buried facilities, with the 3M™ Electronic Marker System (EMS). 3M markers operate even in the presence of metal conduit or pipe, metallic conductors, fences, AC power lines and electronic markers of other utilities. All EMS Markers used for gas pipe location are color-coded to APWA standards for visual reference and gas utilities have their own frequency, helping reduce the risk of accidentally locating and excavating other buried facilities. All gas pipe location markers are yellow in colour.
3M EMS gas pipe location series can be used to locate:
Main and Service Stubs
Meter Boxes
Buried valves, stopping valves and squeeze points
P.C Fittings
Depth Changes
E.F Couplings
Road Crossings, pipeline paths and trees
Service Stubs
Electrical Power Utility Locating
Know where to dig! The 3M™ Electronic Marker System (EMS) helps save electric utilities time and money by enabling field crews to quickly pinpoint the location of underground electric facilities, including cable runs, splices, vaults, conduitsand road crossings. 3M also offers wide product support and service for increased safety, performance and reliability.
EMS markers used for underground electric cable location are colour-coded to APWA standards for visual reference and power utilities have their own frequency, helping reduce the risk of accidentally locating and excavating other underground electric facilities. For power utilities, all underground electric cable markers are red in colour.
