Many utility companies rely on burying their distribution network plant beneath the street and elsewhere for security, safety and aesthetic reasons. However, that plant does not have an infinite life and can be subject to stresses that can cause failure in the future; knowing exactly where that plant is buried can become a challenge later. Some types of buried plant are extremely difficult to locate precisely from above ground; most notably those which are electrically nonconductive, such as gas and water pipes and communication ducts carrying only optical fibers.
This white paper presents a system that can be used to aid the marking, surveying, geotagging and future precision location of buried plant. The system discussed is relatively low cost, proven to have a lifetime like that expected of buried plant, and simple to use with little training.
