Capture billions of points quickly, safely & accurately.
3D laser scanning is a highly accurate method of capturing data in 3D. With this process we can provide richer data which allows 2D drawings, 3D models, ortho-images and fly-through animations to be produced.
We access a range of scanners to meet the individual requirements of each project. 3D laser scanning can be employed in a wide range of applications.
To date we have undertaken a wide range of scanning projects including aircraft, boats, buildings, statues, streets, rail and tube stations, petrochemical plants, factories and offices, cave systems, mines and quarries to name but a few.
We also have a global network of contacts enabling us to, when appropriate, undertake laser scanning using local experts or equipment to reduce time and cost for data capture whilst allowing us to control the production of deliverables to achieve the standards required.
What are the benefits?
Speed - Complex environments are captured faster than alternative techniques. No return visits due to completeness of data capture.
Accuracy - From sub-millimetre on small object scans to 5-10mm on objects at distances up to 500m.
Site Access and Safety - Remote observation means that site access may not be required.
Cost - 3D Laser Scanning is cost effective and SUMO Services provides free quotes and competitive prices.
Archive - As a complete snapshot the data provides an invaluable archive/library for routine monitoring or future exploitation.

How accurate is SUMO's underground utility survey and what types of utilities can it locate?Using cutting-edge technologies like electro-magnetics, signal induced threading, and Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR), our underground utility surveys accurately detect a wide array of buried utilities including metal and plastic pipes, drainage systems, electricity cables, telecoms, and fiber optic cables. The methodology ensures high accuracy without the need for invasive trial holes.
-
What is the turnaround time for obtaining results with SUMO's Underground Utility Detection service?SUMO’s service is built for rapid response. Contractors can receive immediate results onsite. Our equipment provides real-time information, and once we leave the site, the detected utilities are visibly marked on the ground surface for quick reference.
-
Does SUMO provide detailed mapping of the detected utilities for permanent records or construction purposes?Absolutely, SUMO not only marks the detected utilities on-site but also offers high-quality, color-coded survey drawings. These drawings can include topographic features and a comprehensive record of the utility detection survey, ensuring it meets the client’s needs for future reference or pre-construction design works.
-
Topographical and Geophysical surveyIn addition to mapping out utilities, our experience team can accurately survey the land, creating topographical drawings for use. With our state-of-the-art aerial technology, nothing is missed.
-
What additional information can be included in the underground utility mapping service provided by SUMO?In addition to topographic features, SUMO’s mapping service can include fixed surface utility features such as inspection chambers, valve boxes, and telegraph poles. It can also incorporate key topographic details like building lines, fence lines, kerb lines, street furniture, street names, building names, and house numbers, facilitating easy site location.
-
Does the utility mapping service by SUMO include standard referencing and compatibility with existing survey data?Yes, SUMO ensures the utility mapping references the ordnance survey grid and level datum as standard. Additionally, the drawings can be supplied to a specified grid and level datum and can overlay an existing topographical survey, making it a versatile and adaptable service for various project needs.
-
What sets SUMO Services apart from other survey providers?SUMO stands out due to our impeccable level of service with nationwide coverage, state-of-the-art equipment, and our commitment to delivering top-quality, detailed colour-coded survey drawings in both hard and electronic formats.
