Electronic Marker System
3M Electronic Markers provide accurate identification of underground assets, helping to
reduce the risk of accidentally excavating other buried facilities. All markers function without
the need for an external power source. Their water resistant polyetheline shells are impervious
to minerals, chemicals and the temperature extremes normally found underground.
iD Markers can be programed to include customer-specific information about the asset,
such as the facility owner, conduit size, placement date, and other important details. This
information can be accessed using 3M locators with the iD function.
The 3M
™
Electronic Marker System (EMS) helps save utility companies time and money by enabling field crews to quickly pinpoint the location of buried
facilities including cable runs, splices and joints, valves, bends, road crossings, service drops and manholes. Using EMS Markers during construction,
installation and maintenance virtually eliminates the time consuming search for hard-to-locate facilities.
