A major benefit of using 3M™ RF technology to locate utilities is that no documentation is required for finding buried utilities or even identifying them.
Documentation can become out of date, be incomplete, or might not be intended to be used for this purpose.
RF markers are able to provide information critical to accurate locating and marking.
Markers do not only provide the location, but locators can be confident in the utility type due to the distinct frequency used for each vertical.
Using RF path markers helps to eliminate assumptions during locating, a crucial step in the safe digging process.
