Methane Alarm System

Methane Alarm System

Methane Alarm System: As per the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) Methane Code, Ordinance Number 175790, a methane alarm system is part of an active methane mitigation plan. A methane alarm system is a group of interacting components and circuits that synchronize to monitor and annunciate the status of high methane soil gas intrusion. At a minimum, this includes methane detectors, an audible alarm, a visual alarm, a control panel, and necessary programing for synchronization with an HVAC system and soil vapor extraction (SVE) system.

    Subsidence “Subsidence” is a geologic condition, in which a localized mass movement occurs, resulting in the downward settlement of the earth over time. When subsidence occurs, the actual ground surface elevation is lower. This occurrence of the ground surface sinking is typically caused by groundwater table and aquifer reductions, by which the soils become more…
