Overview

The SAM IS Culverts and Bridges 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, culvert and bridge inspection data). The SAM IS Culvert and Bridge module lets you manage all your culvert and bridge assets, while also conducting condition assessments to those structures. You’ll have access to historical inspection and maintenance records that are maintained throughout the culvert and bridge inventory. Easy-to-understand dashboards and thematic maps provide management oversight to your overall structures network – oftentimes a critical component to the safety of your overall transportation infrastructure.

SAM IS Culverts and Bridges assists with the communication of existing conditions and future needs via pre-defined reports and graphs, based on VHB’s extensive knowledge of structures and water resources, as well as municipality requirements. Overall, SAM IS Culverts and Bridges supports the goal of providing a comprehensive life-cycle management tool to provide critical information for maintenance, repair, or replacement from your culvert and bridge inventories.
