What Tectrac does

Tectrac is a UK-headquartered methane leak detection solutions provider serving gas distribution and transmission network operators across Europe. The company delivers turnkey services that span drive-by pipeline leak detection, handheld source-level quantification, and compliance reporting against EU methane regulations and LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) requirements, with named end-markets including gas distribution networks, gas transmission networks, gas power stations and Above Ground Installations, biogas and biomethane facilities, LNG terminals, and municipal utilities.

The product portfolio is built on TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) open-path sensing and combines the AMLD vehicle-mounted mobile detection system (deployable on any vehicle in under five minutes, 24/7 operation, full-day runtime), modular handheld detectors (detection up to 30m, including behind obstacles), and the Tectrac OS insight and management platform (GIS integration, leak size estimation, trend analysis, predictive maintenance, and compliance-ready reporting). Additional capabilities — Discover AMLD, RMLD-CS, and DP-IR+ — are delivered via a technology partnership with Heath Consultants. Tectrac is compliant with EU Methane Regulation 2019/942 and OGMP 2.0 Level 5, holds UKAS ISO 9001 certification, and inherits Bohr Group's granted international patent portfolio covering methane sensor arrays, hydrogen sensing, pitot tubes, and inline energy gas sensors.

Tectrac operates a Leak Detection as a Service (LDaaS) model combined with multi-year enterprise contracts won via competitive tenders, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bohr Group (legal entity Bohr Limited, England). The company maintains country offices in Stone (UK HQ), London, Bristol, Dublin, and Amsterdam, and reports having surveyed 8 million kilometres for utility clients. Its most significant disclosed engagement is a multi-year methane leak detection contract with Dutch network operator Alliander awarded in November 2025. Leadership includes Chris Day (CEO), founders Tom Knight and Tony Wimpenny, Mike Brenner (Commercial Director), and a European operations build-out under COO Europe Gunter Drischel.
