With an unprecedented speed of data collection, capturing large areas of data has never been as cost and time-efficient compared with other laser scanning techniques.
Typically, SUMO can collect between 6,000m2 and 10,000m² of floor area information in just one day of surveying. While the density, cleanliness and tolerance of the hand-held laser scan data may be lesser than traditional tripod-mounted laser scanning options, the speed of collection and survey cost is significantly reduced.
Mobile scanning allows us to provide rapid scan results across a whole site. Example applications include: -
-
Roads and highways
-
Ceiling voids and cavities
-
White Line surveys
-
Town and City streets
-
Beach and Cliffs (for erosion monitoring)
-
Railway routes and stations
The extensive benefits of SUMO’s Hand-Held Laser Scanning include:
-
Time-saving
-
Competitive pricing
-
Flexible scheduling to fit with client requirements
-
Inaccessible/ restricted locations can be safely surveyed
-
Data is easily checked on-site to ensure complete coverage
Last year alone, SUMO collected 250,000m² of data using the handheld GeoSLAM Revo across UK school estates. The first five school sites totalled over 50,000m², with site work completed in less than two weeks by a single operative using a mobile laser scanner. As hand-held scanning is a flexible method of surveying, SUMO could survey the site area during the evenings when the school closed. Thus, there was no interference with the usual running
What deliverable can I expect from SUMO’s Hand-Held Scanning Survey?
-
Graphic Scale Plans – Available within a few days of completing the survey, we can provide you with a scaled picture of the hand-held laser scan data that will allow you to start planning.
-
Point Cloud – We can provide you with the raw point cloud data to work with yourself. Point clouds themselves can be substantially large files but can be viewed with free software to interrogate the data that has been captured before processing into drawings or models.
Deliverables
The majority of deliverables provided using Hand-Held Scanning Survey data is used for feasibility purposes. We are still able to produce 2D and 3D deliverables as laid out below.
2D Drawing
Information from the survey can be presented as a 2D drawing complete with floor plans, reflective ceiling plans, and simple elevations through to detailed ‘brick by brick’ elevations and building sections. Drawings can be completed of any given location, with either basic detail or full detail included. Ask one of our experienced representatives for more information on the levels of 2D drawing detail available.
3D Model
Our team of expert CAD technicians can deliver your laser scan data as a 3D model in the following formats: -

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.
