LongPath Technologies quantifies methane emissions in oil and gas fields using dual frequency comb lasers and a network of retroreflectors on poles to return the signal to a central node. The project goals are to streamline the installation of these poles by removing in-ground mounting and to deliver an installation manual. Our design uses a steel base, concrete blocks, and a tilting pole design.
