The SPH Engineering Methane Leak Detection Using Drone training is a specialized, hands-on course covering the complete workflow for aerial methane leak detection using the Laser Falcon sensor on a UAV platform. The only training of its kind, it equips operators with the practical skills to plan, execute, and process drone-based methane surveys for pipeline inspection, gas infrastructure monitoring, and environmental compliance operations.Training is delivered at the SPH Engineering office or via video conferencing. Duration: up to 2 days. Price is per group of up to 4 students.PrerequisitesStudents should have prior knowledge and practical experience from the following training courses before attending: UgCS Basics UgCS AreaScan and True Terrain Following Missions Training Outline Basics of Methane Detection — Principles of laser-based methane detection with the Laser Falcon sensor; how infrared absorption spectroscopy works and what ppm×m output means in practice System Assembly — Assembling and configuring the complete drone-based methane detection system for field deployment Flight Planning for Linear Objects — Mission planning fundamentals for long linear survey targets such as pipelines and utility corridors Flight Planning for Areal Objects — Mission planning fundamentals for area-based methane surveys including grid patterns and coverage optimization Weather Conditions — Understanding and accounting for the effects of wind, precipitation, snow, and solar radiation on methane detection performance and data quality True Terrain Following (TTF) — Using the TTF option for methane leak detection missions to maintain consistent sensor altitude over variable terrain Data Processing — Processing and interpreting collected methane survey data for leak identification, reporting, and regulatory compliance Delivery Details Location: SPH Engineering office or remote via video conferencing Duration: Up to 2 days Group Size: Up to 4 students per booking Price: Per group (up to 4 students)
