Infrastructure
Main or Service Stubs
• High likelihood need to connect later or due to new construction
• Pinpoint location of connection point where a locator may not provide the needed level of accuracy
• Stubs often get knocked down or covered when their end is above ground

Main or Service Repair Locations
• Higher risk point for future failures, where to look first when there’s an issue
• Easily able to identify and map
• Ease of identification using a marker and precise
• Positive location

Main to Service Connection
• Marker clearly defines the location of the facility
• If connection point and premise point can be identified, may improve ability to determine the path of the service line
• Provides a good starting point

Service Valve
• Sometimes paved over, covered with vegetation or snow pack
• Can serve as an aid with emergency response to shut off valves

Main Shutoff Valve
• Aids with emergency response to shut off valves
• Not easily locatable and needs to be located quickly
• Often covered

Main 90 degree Elbows, Tees and Crosses
• Logical point of failure (leak)
• Assists in path marking of critical assets
• Change of direction can make them broadside to the path of the utility, making it vulnerable to being hit

Offsets
• Assists in path marking of critical assets
• Point of interest indicating something has changed
• Fittings present – leak potential
• Potential higher risk that an abandoned facility may be present in the straight line

Road Crossings
• Depth of cover confirmation, location of conduit, location accuracy for future road work
• Deep dive markings on each side of road to confirm utility location after bore, find buried or sawed-off conduits

Main to Service Connection
- Marker clearly defines the location of the facility
- If connection point and premise point can be identified, may improve ability to determine the path of the service line
- Provides a good starting point
- Poor locatability due to ungrounded tracer wire
- Sometimes with a metal meter, if changed to plastic not easily locateable
- High risk point for excavation damage, often most vulnerable location for strikes
