A post above a buried line.
Also known as: Pipeline marker, Cable route marker, Marker post utility
The post or plate marking the route of a buried pipeline or cable.
Marks the presence and approximate route of a buried service and names its operator.
Contexts: Navigation, Maps
Indicates that a service is present and not where it is: the line may lie some distance from the post, so the marker is a warning to enquire rather than a location.
A marker indicates presence, not position; it is not a means of locating a buried service.
Contexts: Navigation, Maps
Carries a contact number because the operator's records, not the post, are the authority on the line's position.
Contexts: Navigation, Maps
A short post or a plate on a wall carrying the operator's name, an emergency number, a route identifier and often an arrow or a distance to the line.
