EMS Path Marking
Tape and Rope
A new approach to path marking
Our latest innovation, 3M
™
EMS Path Marking Tape and Rope, is virtually a maintenance-
free solution for marking and locating the path of underground plastic pipes and conduits
that helps eliminate the problems and costs associated with tracer wire and test stations.
3M EMS marking tapes and ropes are embedded with markers that are activated using a
3M
™
Dynatel
™
Locators 7000 Series. Their intrinsic benefits save time and money.
• They can be installed near or above
buried assets
• They are easy to follow, creating a
detectable path above ground
• For use in open trench and HDD
(Horizontal Directional Drilling)
applications
• They do not require batteries and there is
no need to hook up an external transmitter
or spend time searching for access points
• The markers work independently,
so even if a section of path marking tape/
rope is cut or removed, the other markers
on the tape/rope will continue to provide
an accurate location
• They come in 5 frequencies, creating a
unique identification for each utility type

Point Marking
Marking points of interest
Unlike surface features, maps and other methods of recording position, the
3M
™
Marker is a constant point of reference you can depend on.
3M markers:
• Operate in all soil types; under
asphalt; cement; and wet or dry soil
• Provide easy positive identification
with each utility having its own
frequency
• Are color-coded to APWA standards
3M
™
iD Markers can be customized to include customer-specific information
such as:
• Facility data
• Type of application
• Material type and size
• Placement date

EMS Ball Marker
Self leveling feature, suited for
depths of 5–6'

EMS Near Surface Marker
Ideal for marking at shallow depths
of 2–3'
All of this information can be accessed in the field through a 3M iD model
locator, but also uploaded and used with your GIS system.
