Why Us

SDS was formed in 1975 to offer the very best equipment and services for the detection of explosives, improvised devices, mines and concealed weapons, hidden contraband or other prohibited items.

Comprehensive bomb disposal, search equipment, training and maintenance projects are our forte, backed up by our attentive after-sales department, post-warranty support, maintenance programs and follow-on user training.

Training courses include equipment operation, incident and risk management, postal staff training and EOD/IEDD/Search team training.

All courses are designed to meet specific client requirements and are undertaken by experienced instructors mostly with UK Government backgrounds.

Our installation teams are experts at installing access control, visitor recognition and covert detection equipment in the workplace.

Explosive threat analysis, workplace/VIP protection programs and incident investigation are just some of the services we carry out for our clients.

"The X-Ray systems you recently supplied are a revelation as far as our work is concerned. I attended a particularly difficult suspect package the other day and took eight shots of it before I could fully identify what I was looking at. The fantastic thing was, that I could do it all without moving from where the computer was located and of course, no film, so no consumables. It is now a pleasure to take x-rays."
