Warehouses and ground gas: Managing risk and ensuring safety

Monitoring ground gas risk in warehouses

The multifaceted nature of warehouses provides challenge. Enourmous buildings house a synchronised system of processes, including a vast number of products being received, sorted, stored, and shipped via a complex network of people and transport. The fluidity of this operation depends on the provision of a safely constructed and actively monitored structure.

Managing ground gas risk in warehouses
