RIDGID marks 30 years of pipeline inspection and utility diagnostic technology
RIDGID is marking 30 years in the pipeline diagnostics market, highlighting its role in advancing inspection and locating technologies used by utility, plumbing and underground infrastructure professionals.
Since introducing its first SeeSnake pipe inspection camera in 1996, the company has expanded its diagnostic portfolio to include inspection reels, digital monitors, locators and recording systems used to assess underground pipelines and identify defects without excavation. These tools are widely used across municipal sewer, drain and utility networks to support condition assessment, maintenance planning and rehabilitation work.
Over the past three decades, RIDGID has introduced several technology updates to its inspection platform, including integrated digital monitoring and recording systems, wireless connectivity for remote viewing and reporting, and TruSense technology designed to enhance in-pipe visibility and data capture. More recently, the company has deployed digital self-leveling camera technology to improve image stability and reduce maintenance associated with mechanical leveling components.
The company said continued investment in connected diagnostics, imaging and locating technology will focus on improving data visibility and jobsite efficiency for contractors and utility operators. As inspection and condition assessment play a growing role in underground infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation, diagnostic tools are becoming increasingly integrated into trenchless and asset management workflows across water and wastewater systems.
