Protecting Utility Infrastructure from Damage

SAM can offer a new perspective and process to conventional one-call services and damage prevention by employing an approach modeled after professional services that, until now, have not been used in the industry. SAM’s All-Inclusive Underground Asset Protection (AIUAP) approach will give you the damage prevention care your assets demand while serving the communities that live and work around them. To protect the nation’s infrastructure from damage during excavation, we have developed this program, which includes ticket locates, GPS collection, turn-back remediation, and an option to add a variety of services, including watch and protect. By adding ticket locates to our services, SAM will help eliminate costs associated with false turn-backs, or ticket “waste,” while reducing liabilities and vastly improving our clients’ on-time percentage and damage per thousand metrics. Since the services will be under one umbrella, you will have complete visibility of the jobs at every step
