Near Road NO2 Monitoring

NEAR-ROAD System

When designing your Near-Road system the first thing to consider is the shelter or enclosure to house the measurement system. We all know that placing sensitive scientific equipment next to a busy highway can be challenging. CAS recommends using our most rugged design for the Near-Road application. The CAS shelters provide the optimal environment for sensitive instrumentation. Using a recycled sea shipping container shell, the shelter provides maximum safety, security and strength to withstand the Near-Road environment.

Integration / System Design

Simply select your instrumentation and let CAS do the rest. From site development to integration and training, CAS can help at every step of the Near-Road process. Using a turnkey approach when purchasing can save the end user up to 42% when compared to purchasing all components individually. Once the system has been built and integrated, it’s as easy as offloading and connecting power.
