SAM differentiates itself in the industry by investing heavily in the three most important pieces needed to deliver exceptional LiDAR solutions:
We operate the most advanced LiDAR scanning systems available, giving you an exceptionally high rate of geospatial data capture, a broad field-of-view, and high-resolution results.
SAM pioneers the deployment of innovative solutions for collecting and analyzing complex data across a wide range of markets and infrastructure programs. Our goal is always to deliver fast, accurate data to give our clients the insight they need to move their plans forward – with confidence.
SAM owns and operates aerial LiDAR sensors and a fleet of manned and unmanned aircraft, giving us total control over the resources to respond to demanding schedules. Our fixed wing aerial platforms capture point cloud densities ranging from 50 to 100 points per square meter in a single flight profile.
Vehicle, Marine Vessels, Hi-Rail or Off-Road UTV platforms capture LiDAR and 360-degree imagery at over 1,000 points per square meter, traveling at normal transportation speeds. These point clouds can be merged with aerial and terrestrial LiDAR for hybrid and mixed resolution design requirements.
SAM’s terrestrial LiDAR services deliver some of the most accurate and detailed site data in the industry. Terrestrial, including SLAM LiDAR, provides extraordinary efficiency and speed in gathering spatial data, and can be merged into Mobile or Aerial LiDAR datasets to create a complete 3D geospatial model from all viewing perspectives.
SAM is Trusted, Knowledgeable, and Innovative. We are the nation’s largest combined geospatial and inspection services firm. SAM’s licensed professionals will lead you through an infrastructure lifecycle program with a full suite of Managed Geospatial Services.
Our vision is to advance spatial data acquisition, improve analysis capabilities, and develop predictive analytics to redefine and transform how infrastructure assets are planned, built, and managed. We have established a reputation for turning complex spatial data into practical, accurate, high-fidelity deliverables to enhance decision-making, mitigate risks, and achieve strategic objectives that drive costs out of our clients’ business.
Our licensed professionals collaborate with you to understand your program’s unique needs and create and deploy solutions that deliver the right geospatial data with flexibility, versatility, and innovation.
