Marking & Measuring
Marking and measuring tools used by public utility workers include spray paint for marking underground utilities, measuring tapes and wheels for determining distances and depths, and marking flags or stakes for identifying buried infrastructure locations during excavation and maintenance operations. These essential tools enable water department crews, gas utility technicians, and municipal workers to accurately locate, measure, and clearly mark utility lines, valve locations, and work areas to ensure safe excavation practices, prevent utility strikes, and maintain precise documentation of underground infrastructure for future reference and regulatory compliance.
