Water
Tackling Hidden Water Loss
Every day, the UK water network loses over 3 billion litres of water*, enough to fill 1,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Much of this is through invisible underground leaks. These losses drive up treatment and energy costs, increase emissions, and strain freshwater resources.
While the water sector has committed to reducing leakage, detecting underground leaks quickly and accurately remains a major challenge. Radiodetection helps utility companies and contractors locate leaks earlier, map underground infrastructure precisely, and meet regulatory targets with confidence.
Whether you're maintaining aging networks or developing new assets, our technology enables faster, smarter, and more sustainable fieldwork.
