Overview

The SAM IS Stormwater module is a cloud-hosted configurable solution that leverages Esri’s ArcGIS Online platform and GIS hosted services. Designed as a Software as a Service (SaaS) program, it is modular-based and cost-effective, so you’re only buying what you need, when you need it. 

A SAM IS subscription includes managed data services for your GIS layer (in this case, stormwater asset data). The SAM IS Stormwater module lets you manage all your stormwater assets, while also conducting condition assessments and scheduling repairs to those stormwater assets. You’ll have access to historical inspection and maintenance records that are maintained throughout the stormwater asset inventory. Easy-to-understand dashboards and thematic maps provide management oversight to your overall stormwater network – oftentimes thousands of individual items under management. Plus, with our integrated control center view, critical, ‘what-do-I-need-to-know-now’ information is at your fingertips.

SAM IS Stormwater assists with the communication of existing conditions and future needs via pre-defined reports and graphs, based on VHB’s extensive knowledge of stormwater and water resources, as well as municipality requirements. In addition, SAM IS Stormwater is specifically designed to prepare you and your municipality to meet MS4 requirements by clearly understanding the components of all six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs). Overall, SAM IS Stormwater supports the goal of providing a comprehensive life-cycle management tool to provide critical information for maintenance, repair, or replacement from your stormwater and water resource inventories.
