Most utilities don’t discover incompatible meters, deteriorated pits, or signal dead zones until deployment is already underway. USG Water’s site survey eliminates that risk; every location is field-verified before a single smart meter is ordered.
How Our AMI Site
Survey Process Works
1: Locations and accounts are identified.
Every meter location is mapped and verified before fieldwork begins.
2: Equipment is inspected and documented.
Meters, pits, lids, and site conditions are assessed and flagged for attention.
3: Photos are captured at every location.
Every site gets a full photo record for reference throughout your project.
4: Findings are compiled into a dashboard.
All data is organized into a clean, filterable database that your team can use.
5: You get a clear path forward.
You’ll know what’s ready, what needs attention, and where to start before deployment begins.
