Using the latest detection technology including electro-magnetics, signal induced threading and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys, we locate metal pipes, plastic pipes, drainage systems, electricity cables, telecoms and fibre optic cables. In fact, almost any buried utility.
We do this without digging trial holes using a proven non-invasive methodology. This ensures consistent results and enables high levels of detection accuracy. We also combine with key topographic features when a permanent record of a Utility Detection survey is needed.

Customer Testimonials
We found SUMO’s archaeological geophysics survey undertaken swiftly and efficiently. Although fortunately, no archaeological evidence was found, SUMO did identify a previously unknown utility running across the site.

We used SUMO for a geophysical survey at a site in Wiltshire and were very impressed with their efficiency and communication. They were very responsive and completed the site visit and report within 2 weeks of instruction. Many thanks for the service.
