Surveying and Mapping Inc. has launched a new subsidiary to extend the company’s capabilities into construction phase services.
Named SAM-Construction Services Inc., the new unit will also do business under the name SAM-CS Inc.
Based in Austin, SAM-CS will provide construction inspection, observation, contract administration, implementation of QA/QC programs, and development of construction and materials, quality manuals and specifications.
The unit will focus primarily on transportation, electric transmission, oil and gas pipeline and water/wastewater projects. SAM-CS will also deploy LiDAR-based data collection tools for construction phase service applications.
Katherine Holtz — a 30-year veteran of materials, design and construction engineering in the transportation sector — will be in charge of running the new unit.
Founded in 1994, SAM Inc. provides geospatial data solutions with surveying and mapping technologies. The company employs about 140 workers.
