Radiodetection Radiodetection is a world leader in the design and development of test equipment, used by utility companies, to help install, protect and maintain their infrastructure networks. 

Our product range includes tools for damage prevention to buried services; powerful video systems for pipeline inspection; high-performance dehydrators and cable-test products for telecoms; and our solid-state sensors business.

Damage Prevention

Damaging buried utilities can be dangerous very expensive.  Utility owners around the world rely on Radiodetection products to keep their assets safe.  Radiodetection offers two ranges of cable and pipe locating tools to reflect the range of legislation and best-practice in different countries.

Precision Locators

The RD7100 and RD8100 ranges of precision locators are designed to be used to accurately locate a wide range of buried utilities in a wide range of situations.  The professional instruments represent the culmination of Radiodetection’s experience in the design and manufacture of locators.

Cable Avoidance Tools

In many countries, excavators need an easy-to-use but powerful tool to avoid cable strikes.  Radiodetection pioneered the Cable Avoidance Tools (C.A.T®) to prevent accidental damage to underground services when excavating.

Pipeline Inspection

Our pipeline inspection brand, Pearpoint, offers down-hole inspection products featuring the latest digital CCTV to enable water companies to perform regular inspection and maintenance, troubleshooting and repairing sewer and other pipes in difficult environments.

Telecoms

Our Dielectric brand provides a range of dehydrator products for installation in telephone exchanges to maintain cable health.  Radiodetection's Cable Test (TDR) products quickly locate problems, such as breaks or deteriorating insulation, in coaxial, twisted pair, and power cabling.

Solid-State Sensors

Our Warren-GV products are premier airflow and temperature sensors and timing relays.
