In this episode of Amplify, host Chris Zmijewski visits SAM’s field crew outside Richmond, Virginia, to talk with Bow Chadwick and Michael Philyaw about life on the job site.
From early morning safety meetings to coordinating complex construction layout on a large data center project, Beau and Mike share their perspectives on how technology, teamwork, and experience come together in the field. They discuss how tools like Trimble total stations and SAM Capture have transformed the way survey data is collected and shared—and reflect on how much the profession has evolved since the days of manual chaining and handwritten field books.
With more than four decades of combined experience, this conversation offers a genuine look into the people and precision that drive SAM’s success on every project.
Listen now to hear how our Richmond field team keeps projects safe, efficient, and accurate—one stake at a time.
