As America's infrastructure ages, countless local governments across the country find themselves at an important crossroads. Faced with the often expensive and critical task of upgrading their local infrastructure, they must decide how to proceed: the most economical option? incremental patchwork? or large-scale overhaul programs that will be a long-term investment in the future. Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, recently faced this challenge, and it decided to look to the future by undertaking a massive overhaul of its aging water system. The city chose SAM as a partner to make these vital improvements, and the program ended up requiring extensive knowledge of multiple geospatial and engineering disciplines. Luckily, SAM's Managed Geospatial Solutions™ framework was uniquely suited to the challenge. We detail how our team helped the city make this program a success in our latest case story: https://lnkd.in/dkeVKCEN

Let’s talk bridges! Did you know that SAM recently won a ACEC National Engineering Excellence Award? The "Texas Department of Transportation 2020 Bridge Clearance Program Schedule" addressed the safety of 4,448 bridges across Texas over three years. SAM leveraged our Mobile LiDAR technology to map bridge clearances and acquire feature extractions. We used GIS to gather an asset inventory, streamlining the inspection process of each bridge. The relative vertical accuracy of the Mobile LiDAR over paved roads was 0.02’ (0.61-cm) or better. The horizontal relative accuracy for the Mobile LiDAR was 0.10’ (3.33-cm) or better. #TxDOT #DOT #Survey #Mapping. #Lidar #GIS #Bridge #DOT #transporation #engineering #design #mobileLiDAR #accuracy #pointcloud #departmentoftransportation #inspection

Ohhhh.... Fancy! SAM can map 45 acres in 16 minutes! With good conditions we can map 200-300 acres in 1 day. This is also a wide angle LiDAR which allows for a large area data capture. Our team is trained and ready to use our newest drone, the Phoenix LiDAR Systems Recon XT w/Freefly Astro. #drones #survey #mapping #technology #LiDAR #technology

Will you be at the Esri User Conference in San Diego this week? Andy Scott, Kirk Larson, and Mark Congdon will be there scouting for business opportunities and listening to the latest Esri software news to see how it fits within SAM’s Managed Geospatial Services™. We'd love to discuss how we can help you with any current operational challenges or strategic planning. Kirk will be on the Trimble stage, Tuesday, July 16th, from 1:45 to 2:00 PM for a lighting presentation on the Trimble Inc. DA2 Catalyst, a lightweight, compact GPS receiver built using Trimble's ProPoint™ GNSS technology. The DA2 delivers accurate RTK positioning to location-enabled Android or iOS apps. If you can’t be there, learn more about SAM’s GIS capabilities at https://hubs.ly/Q02Gz5gm0.
