Drone Fugitive Methane Gas Detection
& Measurement Surveys
Checking and measurement of fugitive methane levels is both a health, safety and environmental (HSE) concern, and a means of efficiently managing capture of methane gas and maximising revenue from green energy generation on capped landfill sites.
Visualisation of measured spot methane levels overlaid on a map enable detection of capping boundary leaks, capping damage and general points of interest and possible problems.
​
A clean report of course is a requirement to satisfy environmental compliance monitoring.
​
DTA's drone methane surveys are fast, efficient, accurate, reliable and affordable.
