We encounter exhaust gases in small concentrations everywhere when we step outside. However, when harmful gases like carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), hexane, and hydrocarbons (petrol fumes) accumulate indoors, they pose serious health risks.
In parking garages, auto workshops, and other areas where combustion engines release exhaust gases under a roof, there’s always a risk of creating a harmful atmosphere. Geopal provides complete systems for the correct detection of exhaust gases, which, together with efficient ventilation, help ensure the safety of both employees and visitors in these environments. Our systems for gas detection in parking facilities are typically equipped with sensors for detecting CO (carbon monoxide) and can be upgraded with NOx sensors (nitrogen oxides) where necessary.
Geopal detectors automatically activate ventilation systems if the concentration of harmful fumes becomes too high. Carbon monoxide detectors and NOx detectors are placed at breathing height above floor level, while hydrocarbon detectors are positioned close to the floor, approximately 150 mm above ground level.

“We have collaborated with Geopal for many years, primarily for the delivery of gas detectors for parking ventilation systems, which is our primary market. We experience Geopal as a professional partner with transparency, quick execution, and exceptional service. They have great insight into gas detection systems, and their employees are always ready to assist with technical aspects related to this.”
– Mads Sønnichsen
”As a company, we have had Geopal as our preferred and sole supplier of gas detectors for our own developed parking garage ventilation systems since 2012. Quality, service, and support have always been top-notch. Geopal is always ready to help, whether it’s assisting a technician in a parking garage close to handover or sharing knowledge about explosive vapors or harmful gases.”

This three-level parking facility for 500 cars is located under Kvæsthusmolen, near the Royal Danish Playhouse in central Copenhagen. Geopal supplied GP-BUS detectors for detecting carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. These detectors activate the ventilation system if harmful gas concentrations become too high.
Copenhagen’s first fully automatic underground parking facility is located on Nørre Allé. Similar facilities were later built on Leifsgade (Islands Brygge) and Under Elmene (Amagerbro). In all three parking facilities, Geopal installed AGA systems for detecting CO, NO2, and hexane, ensuring the activation of ventilation if harmful gas concentrations rise.
This modern shopping center, spanning 16,000 m² and including a two-level parking garage, opened in spring 2007. Geopal provided gas detection for carbon monoxide and petrol fumes. The parking garage is divided into two ventilation zones on each level to ensure optimal use of the fans. A total of 96 GP-SA and GP-CO gas detectors with integrated microprocessors are installed in the parking garage.
