GIS Inspection & Inventory Services

SAM’s expert GIS field crews know spatial accuracy is crucial, but as utility experts we understand there is more to each dot on the map. Recording the characteristics and attributes of each structure are one of the many ways SAM goes above and beyond for our clients. SAM provides infrastructure inspections and inventory services to all sizes of utilities. We have expertise in electric power infrastructure, gas distribution, sanitary sewer collection, storm water networks, and water utility systems.  

Unique to SAM is the in-house expertise of our GIS field staff to provide high accuracy GPS mapping in combination with comprehensive inventory and inspection services.   

Additionally, our personnel hold PACP/MACP/LACP certifications through the National Association of Sewer Service Companies. This in-house knowledge enables our staff to provide useable data on inspections to our clients while complying with industry standards.
