SIM Unveils New Video Pipe Inspection Specification
SIM or Subsurface Investigation Methodology aims to raise the quality of private subsurface investigation results by creating industry specifications. These specifications combine the requirements of experienced-based training, tested technologies, and proven application methods. The combination results in an industry standard for non-destructive investigation of underground utilities, scanning concrete, and now VPI. SIM as a standard will ensure safety, limit damage to underground and structural assets, and increase locator contractor accountability on site.
SIM: Powering the Industry Standard
Subsurface Investigation Methodology is the most comprehensive specification in the subsurface damage prevention industry.
