Direct-C
Direct-C provides previously unachievable certainty in 24/7 leak detection monitoring for the oil and gas industry. Completely free of false-positive alarms, Direct-C's solutions provide clients with ultimate confidence – when an alert notification is received, liquid hydrocarbons are present at the sensor location.
Direct-C has several monitoring options to satisfy all hydrocarbon infrastructure operators’ needs. Below and above ground pipelines, tank farms, production wells, reclamation sites – all can benefit from the deployment of standard or customized Direct-C monitoring solutions.
1. Client
Direct-C contacted Suissa to help them develop a low volume proof of concept for their SubSense Mobile offering.
2. Challenge
We had to develop a design that could be manufactured in low production numbers, but also quickly ramp up to high volume production. The design also had to be able to present for 3 different versions without adding production cost.
3. Solution
I worked with Direct-C and a local manufacturer to develop a design that was producible using silicone molds while still designing in the requirements for moving to injection molding. To differentiate between the three versions, we decided to go with a simple colour change.
