The Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) funded the development of LaSen’s technology in 2004. Since then, LaSen has been the industry leader in airborne methane leak detection, our system is 98% accurate in detecting leaks from 300-500 feet above the ground, safely above hazards. Our flight altitude and the speed of the onboard laser allow our helicopters to safely fly at speeds up to 65mph, allowing for 15 times the range of vehicle mounted systems. All inspections include a high-resolution video of the entire flight, allowing customers to inspect their Right of Way (ROW) for compliance. LaSen has inspected more than 350,000 miles of pipeline and detected more then 35,000 leak indications.
