Digitizing Civil Plans for Smarter Infrastructure: USA Imaging Supports PSOMAS with GIS-Ready Scans

In today’s fast-moving world of infrastructure planning and utility mapping, efficiency and accuracy are everything. When PSOMAS—a renowned consulting firm known for advancing civil engineering, survey, and geospatial solutions—needed to digitize thousands of legacy civil plans, they turned to USA Imaging, Inc. for a trusted scanning solution.

The project involved converting large-format engineering drawings into high-resolution PDF files, which would then be integrated into Esri GIS systems. These files would support PSOMAS in linking detailed visual references to utility lines, road improvement projects, and other infrastructure layers within client mapping environments.

Working closely with the PSOMAS team, USA Imaging ensured each scanned plan maintained its original scale and clarity, critical for accurate mapping and spatial analysis. The digitized plans not only reduced physical storage needs, but also became instantly searchable and accessible—enhancing project workflows across multiple departments.

Most of the end users were cities and municipalities relying on PSOMAS for planning, construction, and public works upgrades. By providing easily linkable, GIS-ready PDFs, USA Imaging helped streamline access to critical infrastructure data, empowering smarter decision-making for communities throughout the region.

This partnership underscores how strategic document scanning can modernize workflows, reduce costs, and ultimately build stronger cities.
