Urban Gas Safety

Pressure, methane and leakage transmitters report over the network within seconds, and alarms push to the duty engineer. Edge thresholds and reporting rates are set per site.

Pipe PressureMethane LeakageGas ConcentrationDual Channel PressureAmmonia Concentration

Overview

A gas distribution network where pressure and leakage have to be watched together. Combustible-gas sensors and pressure transmitters read the pipeline, and the edge gateway reports the values upward within seconds.

Modbus RTU and TCP equipment from earlier upgrades joins the same gateway, thresholds and reporting rates are set per site, and alarms are pushed straight to the administrator. Terminals are explosion-proof and rated IP67, and the installation follows GB 50028.

Challenges

What the site has to get past before the readings are worth anything.

Leaks stay invisible

A small leak in a buried or ageing pipe is found only when someone smells gas or pressure drops.

Mixed legacy devices

Modbus RTU and TCP equipment from different vintages shares a network but rarely reports upward.

Fixed patrol routes

Manual inspection covers set routes, so the gap between checks is long and uneven.

System Architecture

Three layers: what is measured, how it travels, and where the rules and alarms live.

Key Benefits

70%

Less manual inspection

Manual inspection rounds fall by 70 percent once pressure and leak points report continuously.

90%

Faster incident response

Incident response efficiency improves by 90 percent with alarms pushed straight to the engineer.

Standards and rating

Terminals follow GB 50028 and carry explosion-proof and IP67 ratings for outdoor pipe work.
