SERVICE IDENTIFICATION MARKERS
UTILITY DISKS
Utility ID Disks provide clear, permanent identification of underground service access points without creating trip hazards or visual clutter.
The flush-mount design sits level with footpaths and paved surfaces, clearly marking water, sewer, communications, stormwater, and other utility services for quick identification during maintenance work.
Manufactured in New Zealand with custom engraving options.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Utility Disk profile – compact 60mm diameter with flush-mount design
Fitted Flush (using specialized rebating tool) Disk sits flush with pavement surface. Requires 60mm diameter rebated hole. Secured with bonding adhesive.
Surface Mounted Disk sits on surface without rebating. Secured with bonding adhesive. Quick installation but slightly raised profile.
Surface Mounted with Anchoring Stud Requires M8 x 20mm hole. Anchoring stud provides secure mechanical fixing. Recommended for high-traffic areas or where vandalism is a concern.
Note: Disks are usually placed beside covers for easy service identification without needing to remove the cover.

FAQ
Frequently Asked
What are Utility ID Disks used for?
Utility ID Disks identify underground service access points – water, sewer, communications, stormwater, gas, power, or any other utility. They’re placed in footpaths or paved areas to mark service locations without opening covers.
Why use flush-mount disks instead of surface markers?
Flush-mount disks sit level with the pavement, eliminating trip hazards and preventing damage from pedestrian traffic or vehicles. They’re also more discrete and aesthetically appropriate for quality streetscapes.
How are Utility Disks installed?
Three installation options: fitted flush using a specialised rebating tool (requires 60mm rebated hole), surface mounted with adhesive, or surface mounted with M8 anchoring stud for mechanical fixing.
How durable are the disks?
Utility Disks are manufactured from weatherproof materials with UV-resistant finish. They withstand pedestrian traffic, weather exposure, and typical footpath conditions for many years.
ABOUT UTILITY DISKS
Modern streetscapes and developments contain multiple underground services – water, sewer, communications, stormwater, power, and gas. When maintenance is required, locating the correct access point quickly is essential.
THE CHALLENGE
Without clear identification, maintenance crews must open multiple covers to find the right service, wasting time and disrupting pedestrian areas unnecessarily. Visual identification is needed, but bulky above-ground markers create trip hazards and compromise streetscape aesthetics.
THE SOLUTION
Utility ID Disks provide flush-mount identification that’s visible but unobtrusive. Placed beside utility covers in footpaths or paved areas, disks clearly identify which service the cover accesses without creating trip hazards or visual clutter.
