Utility Detection
Using the latest detection technology including electro-magnetics, signal induced threading and ground penetrating radar, SUMO locate metal pipes, plastic pipes, drainage systems, electricity cables, telecoms and fibre optic cables. In fact, just about any buried utility.
We do this without digging trial holes using a proven non-invasive methodology developed over many years which ensures consistent results and enables high levels of detection accuracy.

A line diagram is painted showing direction and depths are recorded where they are able to be measured.
The SUMO Utility Detection product is a quick response service for contractors who need to undertake excavation works with minimised risk of service strikes.
Immediate Results
Not only can SUMO let you know what is underground, we do it immediately because our equipment provides real-time information. When we leave site all of the detected utility survey data will have been recorded on the ground. The survey results are reviewed with site workers for whom we provide a handbook explaining the meaning of the survey markings together with a FAQ guide to underground utility detection.
This service does not include a Statutory Records Search, which we can provide for an additional charge.
