URBAN SAFETY Monitoring

Why Urban Gas Safety Matters

Undetected natural gas emissions in urban areas present serious risks to residents safety, including potential explosions, fires, and property damage. Early detection is critical to protecting lives and safeguarding infrastructure. Our advanced monitoring solutions provide continuous and reliable gas detection, helping utilities reduce these risks, enhance operational safety, and maintain compliance with stringent regulations such as New York City’s Local Law 157 and other evolving safety standards across the United States.

Challenges in Urban Gas Networks

• Aging gas distribution infrastructure across dense city environments

• Complex networks requiring scalable and easy-to-deploy monitoring solutions

• Need for continuous, real-time gas detection with rapid connected alerts that enable gas utilities to quickly dispatch repair teams and prevent incidents.

• Meeting diverse local compliance and reporting obligations

Our Solutions:
Connected Natural Gas Monitoring detectors at City Scale

eLichens efficiently solves these challenges by deploying thousands of connected natural gas detectors across urban areas. Leveraging our advanced Avolta Connect sensors paired with the eLichens Cloud Platform, we provide comprehensive, real-time gas monitoring solutions that empower gas utilities to act swiftly and comply fully with local safety laws.

To effectively safeguard urban gas networks, we use complete, integrated system combining state-of-the-art hardware and powerful cloud software:

eLichens Avolta Connect: 10%LEL NATURAL GAS Detector

eLichens NDIR micro-sensors are integrated into wireless connected natural gas detectors to measure hazardous gas and parameters depending on the application. The station is able to detect and alert people when a methane gas threshold has been reached thanks to an audible alarm, and a LED which turns orange for trouble or red for the alarm. The detector is also connected to a control system.

To effectively safeguard urban gas networks, we offer a complete, integrated system combining state-of-the-art hardware and powerful cloud software:

• Low-power, highly accurate NDIR sensors optimized for urban environments

• Designed for easy installation across gas utility infrastructure and building facilities

• Fast response times to detect even minor gas concentrations early

• Wireless, battery operated with a 10+ year lifespan

eLichens Cloud Platform: SMART Monitoring and DISPATCH INTERFACE

eLichens Cloud Platform is a secure SaaS solution that functions as real-time fleet management and a dispatch interface for Avolta Connect RMD. Designed for leak detection, it empowers fast, informed decision-making and ensures regulatory compliance. The platform efficiently connects, monitors, and supervises your entire fleet of devices to help keep public safety optimal and optimize field operations.

• Collects and processes real-time data sent securely via LoRaWAN or LTE-M (multi-carrier SIM now available) from Avolta Connect devices offering a comprehensive and intuitive interface structured into several key modules.

• Access alerts across your entire network, and a smart dispatch interface that help gas utilities track their resolution status and coordinate field interventions teams efficiently, ensuring quick response to critical situations.

• Scalable platform capable of managing thousands of sensors across multiple sites

• Export data to generate reports that comply with regulatory requirements.

Benefits for Gas Utilities and City Managers

• Improved public safety through early detection and rapid response

• Reduced operational risks and minimized downtime with streamlined dispatch and repair workflows

• Cost savings from incident prevention and efficient maintenance

• Full compliance with local and national safety regulations
