145.7KHz RFID Marker for Water Pipes | Underground Disc Beacon for Potable Water Networks

1. Product Introduction

This disc-shaped RFID electronic marker (beacon) is specifically engineered for underground water supply and potable water distribution networks. Operating at a frequency of 145.7 kHz, it is the ideal solution for marking the location of non-metallic and metallic water pipes.

As a passive underground RFID tag, it requires no internal battery and is powered entirely by the electromagnetic field generated by a compatible handheld locator. Encapsulated in high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, this marker is designed for permanent deployment in harsh underground environments. By installing these markers at key nodes—such as valves, bends, joints, or within handholes—municipal workers can accurately pinpoint the exact location, depth, and path of water lines without excavation, effectively preventing costly dig-in damages and ensuring public water safety.

3. Functions & Applications

Accurate Asset Mapping: Precisely locates the coordinates and depth of buried water mains, solving the challenge of "lost" infrastructure.

Damage Prevention: Enables pre-excavation scanning to mark underground utilities, preventing accidental breaks of water mains that cause service disruptions.

Critical Node Marking: Ideal for marking pipe bends, tees, valve boxes, meter pits, and trenchless crossings (road or river crossings).

Digital ASSET MANAGEMENT: Assists field crews in verifying GIS data accuracy and maintaining up-to-date infrastructure records.

Continuous Route Tracing: Recommended for installation at regular intervals or at route deviations to ensure continuous traceability of the pipeline path.
