In 2019 over a quarter of excavation damages were due to locating practices.
The 3M™ Electronic Marking System (EMS) Warning Tape 7900 Series contains RF path markers that eliminate many pain points in the location process.
The XT version of this product contains a high-strength core material that alerts excavators to the presence of an underground facility if no locate request is made (which was the cause of 29% of excavation damages in 2019).
