How IoT Sensors Detect Gas Leaks in Underground Vaults
In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how connected sensors are preventing catastrophic gas explosions in underground utility vaults beneath city streets. They focus on the specific case of Washington D.C., where a 2023 incident nearly caused a major blast, and how a network of methane and hydrogen sulfide sensors now monitors over 1,200 vaults in real time. The hosts break down the sensor technology—electrochemical cells and catalytic beads—and explain how the data feeds into a central dashboard that alerts crews within seconds. They also discuss the…
