Signage Built
for the Main
Drivable markers, line marker signs, and posts that keep buried water and sewer assets identified through mowing, traffic, and flooding.
Buried assets, fading markers
The water and sewer industry faces challenges with infrastructure visibility, regulatory compliance, and durability. Underground pipelines require clear marking to prevent damage during excavation.
- 1Compliance exposure. Standards from OSHA, EPA, and APWA mandate specific colors, materials, and messaging for utility identification. Non-compliance can result in fines, delays, and safety risks.
- 2Environmental failure. UV exposure and flooding often cause traditional markers to fade or fail, compromising visibility.
- 3Impact damage. Markers in the mowing zone get struck by vehicles and equipment — rigid posts bend or break and stop marking anything.
Marked, rated, and built to last
From the main to the meter pit, one manufacturer for the full range of water and sewer signage.
Drivable Marker (DRV)
Flexible fiberglass markers that absorb impact from vehicles and mowers, then return upright.
Bullet Marker
H41 round markers for buried water and sewer line identification.
Line Marker Signs
Aluminum 5052-H38 line markers in 12″ x 9″, 12″ square, 10″ x 14″, and 11 ¾″ round.
U-Channel Posts
Galvanized U-channel posts for permanent sign mounting along the right-of-way.
Delta Markers
Three-sided markers legible from every approach along the line.
Marking Flags
APWA-colored flags for temporary locates ahead of excavation.
Spray Paint
Utility marking paint for locate work on pavement, gravel, and soil.
Waterway Signs
Signage for reservoirs, intakes, treatment sites, and restricted waterways.
Color
Coded
Blue & Green
Safety blue for potable water, safety green for sewer — with custom text, numbering, and your logo.
It gets hit and stays upright
Vulcan’s Drivable Marker (DRV) is a reliable and highly visible solution for marking critical water and sewer utility lines. Built for strength and flexibility, the DRV is designed to endure impact from vehicles, lawn equipment, and environmental forces, all while maintaining its upright position.
Flexible Fiberglass
Absorbs impact from vehicles, mowers, and other forces, then returns to its original position.
Highly Visible
Available in industry-standard APWA colors for clear, recognizable utility identification.
Customizable
Add your company name, logo, and warning messages for increased visibility and branding.
UV Resistant
Withstands sun exposure, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations without fading or cracking.
Unlike traditional markers that can be bent or broken, the DRV stays upright, making it a low-maintenance, cost-effective solution for long-term use. Its highly visible design ensures that water and sewer lines are clearly marked, reducing the risk of accidental damage and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Specified so it doesn’t fail
Signs fail in predictable ways — the substrate cracks, the ink fades, the adhesive releases. We choose materials to prevent each one, then QUV weather-test before shipping.
Fiberglass Composite
Driveable and flexible. Absorbs impact and returns to position.
Aluminum 5052-H38
Corrosion-resistant, holds shape under wind loading. The standard for permanent signs.
HDPE
Flexes and returns to shape. For markers that get struck, mowed, or bent.
Reflective Sheeting
Engineer-grade and high-intensity sheeting for night visibility.
