PROJECT PORTFOLIO & EXECUTED WORKS
INGENIERIA S.U.M. C.A. | GLOBAL 3D TECHNOLOGY
Professional Engineering Services | 1972–2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INGENIERIA S.U.M. C.A. and its division GLOBAL 3D TECHNOLOGY represent a distinguished 50-year legacy (1972–2021) in specialized services comprising precision geodesy, industrial topography, dimensional control, and 3D laser scanning technology. The firm has successfully executed 211 documented projects across critical sectors such as petrochemicals, infrastructure, cultural heritage, and industrial plants, operating in 8 countries including Venezuela, Italy, Panama, Portugal, Libya, and Aruba.
Areas of Technical Specialization
The firm specializes in high-precision geodetic control for storage tanks and industrial structures, micro-geodetic networks for planimetric and altimetric support, Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) surveys utilizing Faro Focus technology, 3D/BIM modeling, geotechnical stability studies, construction setting-out, and volumetric tank calibration.
Key Clients and Landmark Projects
Prominent clients include PDVSA/LAGOVEN (Venezuela), with over 150 projects involving geodetic control of tanks and distribution plants; the Q8 Refinery (Naples, Italy), featuring laser surveys of multiple distillation units between 2007–2011; Panamanian sugar refineries (Calesa, Nacional, La Victoria, Cadasa); and the Department of Antiquities (Libya) for Roman heritage preservation. Critical infrastructure projects include the Tocumen International Airport and the Panama Metro stations.
Technological Evolution
The company has evolved from traditional geodetic methods (1972–2001) to the adoption of 3D Laser Scanning and Virtual Reality (2002–2021), consolidating capabilities in digital BIM/CAD modeling and point cloud processing for reverse engineering.
