Powering Progress. Connecting Solutions.

Utility coordination is the cornerstone of successful infrastructure projects, ensuring that utilities are managed seamlessly to avoid delays, minimize costs, and keep projects on track. At SAM, our comprehensive Utility Coordination (UC) services blend expert knowledge, cutting-edge tools, and extensive experience to solve complex utility challenges before they become roadblocks. By integrating early communication, strategic planning, and proactive conflict resolution, we streamline the utility coordination process, enabling projects to move forward efficiently and cost-effectively.

Our experienced team works hand-in-hand with utility owners, designers, contractors, and municipal agencies to navigate regulations and optimize project timelines. With a tailored approach incorporating advanced Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), detailed site inspections, and robust project tracking, we provide the essential data and insights to make informed decisions, reduce risk, and accelerate project delivery.

For transportation and infrastructure projects, it’s effective utility coordination that drives success — ensuring projects are completed on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption.

Safe. EFFICIENT. COMPLIANT. SEAMLESS.

Our Utility Coordination team has years of experience working with the Department of Transportation (DOT) and municipalities, giving us insider knowledge of state and federal reimbursement guidelines. We also have a strong grasp of the DOT Utility Manual and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Utility Accommodation Rules, which often allow alternative designs that can eliminate the need for utility relocations. With these tools, we work with you to develop a plan specifically tailored to meet the needs of your project and get you the maximum reimbursement for incurred costs in the shortest time.
