Landfill gas monitoring software
Landfill operators monitor methane, carbon dioxide and oxygen in perimeter bores and inside nearby buildings to detect subsurface gas migration, and test surface emissions across capped areas. Each round produces readings per bore with barometric pressure noted, because falling pressure drives gas out. Regulators expect a report that shows every bore was read and that any exceedance of the action level triggered a response.
Built for landfill operators running teams of roughly 3–50 inspectors.

Gas monitoring report
Perimeter gas bore readings — Quarterly round
- Facility

- Barometric pressure
- 1006 hPa, falling
| Bore | CH₄ / CO₂ / O₂ (% v/v) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| GB01 | 0.0 / 0.8 / 20.1 | Status: Below action |
| GB04 | 1.6 / 6.2 / 11.4 | Status: Above action |

| Site office (sub-floor) | 0.0 / 0.4 / 20.6 | Status: Below action |
Fields captured on site
Your firm builds the form in-app, so these are a starting point rather than a fixed schema. Every field is captured on the device, with or without signal, and lands in the gas monitoring report where your template puts it.
Per bore
- Bore ID (from the register)
- CH₄, CO₂, O₂ and balance
- Flow and relative pressure
- Stabilisation time
- Headworks condition
Per enclosed structure
- Building and location
- Readings at sub-floor or service pits
Round
- Barometric pressure and trend
- Instrument and calibration gas check
Standards the report works to
- EPA Victoria Publication 788Best Practice Environmental Management: Siting, design, operation and rehabilitation of landfills (Landfill BPEM)
- Gas monitoring expectations and action levels referenced in many landfill licences.
Load the standards you hold into your reference library and the drafted prose is written against them rather than against a general model.
How the gas monitoring report gets built
Capture it once, offline
Your firm builds the landfill gas monitoring form in-app — 25 field types, nesting repeatable groups, compound AND/OR visibility rules, reusable modules and calculated fields. Field capture works with no signal: jobs, forms, photos, notes and audio all queue in an idempotent outbox that only clears once the server confirms receipt.
Link it to your sample locations
Enter sample locations once, as a register. Every one of your samples, bores and monitoring rounds then points at a stored row rather than a name somebody typed — and the links survive a disconnected device.
Render your own template
The gas monitoring report renders into the Word template you already use — your letterhead, your section order, your clause library — with conditionals, loops over repeats, composable sub-templates and photo grids.
Reviewed before it leaves
You write the review framework: a checklist of what a gas monitoring report must contain, plus the prose standards you would mark a junior against. Link it to a report template and it runs every time that template renders. Each finding comes back graded info, minor or major, quoting the sentence at fault, and a person accepts or dismisses every one.
Because the structured submission behind the report is held too, the review is a comparison rather than a proofread: The report says every bore was sampled to three metres; the form has BH07 refused at 1.2 m.
Checks a environmental framework usually carries
- Every exceedance in the results tables is discussed in the assessment text
- The guideline values cited match the land use actually being assessed
- No sample or bore ID appears in the prose that is absent from the data
- Data gaps, refusals and deviations from the sampling plan are stated as limitations
Questions
- Can barometric trend be recorded with each round?
- Yes. It is a round-level field, so it prints at the head of every reading table without being entered per bore.
- Can an exceedance trigger a follow-up round?
- A follow-up can be scheduled as a linked job, and the next round’s form points at the same bore register.
- Can we see a bore’s history?
- Readings point at stored bores, so all rounds for GB04 can be filtered in the submissions grid and tabulated in the report.
What this is not
Worth knowing before you book a demo, so neither of us wastes the half hour.
- Not field-service dispatch. No timesheets, no parts, no inventory. Scheduling exists to get an inspector to a site.
- No signature capture. If your deliverable has to carry a signed sign-off on the artefact itself, this is not the tool yet.
- Field capture is what works offline — jobs, forms, photos, notes and audio. Reports, chat, scheduling and the inbox need a connection.
- No client portal. Reports go out as a file or a password-protected link.
