Services
Land Surveying
SAMs land surveying services utilize high-precision GPS and LiDAR to create detailed topographic maps for infrastructure planning. Our teams deliver accurate boundary determinations, elevation models, and site analysis to support construction, utilities, and transportation projects. With rapid 24-hour mobilization, we ensure timely data collection for clients nationwide.
Aerial Mapping
Our aerial mapping solutions employ drones equipped with LiDAR and multispectral cameras to capture large-area geospatial data. This technology enables efficient corridor mapping for highways, pipelines, and powerlines while reducing field time. Clients receive high-resolution orthomosaics and 3D models for asset management and environmental assessments.
Subsurface Utility Engineering
SAMs SUE services identify and map underground utilities using ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic detection. We classify utilities to ASCE 38-02 standards, minimizing risks during excavation. Our solutions integrate with GIS platforms to provide clients with actionable subsurface data for safe, code-compliant project execution.
Powerline Inspection
Our powerline inspection services combine aerial LiDAR and thermal imaging to assess transmission line integrity. Advanced analytics detect vegetation encroachment, conductor wear, and structural defects. Utilities receive prioritized maintenance recommendations to enhance grid reliability and comply with FAC-008 standards.
BIM/3D Laser Scanning
SAMs 3D laser scanning creates as-built BIM models for infrastructure and industrial facilities. Point cloud data captures millimeter-level accuracy, enabling clash detection and construction sequencing. Clients leverage these digital twins for lifecycle asset management, retrofit planning, and facility operations optimization.
