The 3M™ Full-Range Marker provides an accurate, convenient, long-lasting method of marking underground facilities. Electronic marking saves time and money spent searching for buried facilities prior to excavation. The marker also acts as a digging shield over buried facilities, lessening the chances of damage. And, unlike surface markers such as stakes, flags or paint, the full-range marker cannot be inadvertently moved or worn away by weather. The addition of the new 3M-iD markers provides additional functionality by enabling facility data to be stored in the marker. The pre-programmed unique serial number integrates with back office mapping and GIS systems when used for mapping new and legacy assets and points of special interest for construction and maintenance applications. 

The 3M™ Ball Marker makes the job of precisely locating underground facilities easier. Other buried markers can be disturbed by backfill dirt or installed improperly so they don’t stay positioned correctly. The 3M ball marker’s unique self-leveling design ensures the marker is always in an accurate, horizontal position regardless of how it is placed into the ground. The addition of the new 3M-iD markers provides additional functionality by enabling facility data to be stored in the marker to ensure positive identification of facilities. The pre-programmed unique serial number integrates with back office mapping and GIS systems when used for mapping new and legacy assets and points of special interest for construction and maintenance applications.
