Enel is looking for innovative solutions to support safety during excavation and maintenance activities in areas with underground and aboveground utilities. The goal is to identify wearable personal equipment, low-cost and easy-to-use solutions that can detect gas leaks in all environments, enabling crews to halt operations immediately when a leak is detected. Solutions should support field operators by providing reliable alerts and actionable information, regardless of the excavation method used. Some detection methods exist today, such as specialized gas sensors or leak detection equipment, but these are often expensive, bulky, or notpractical for widespread use in routine operations. Enel is therefore seeking solutions that combine affordability, ease of use, and reliable performance in real-world excavation and maintenance contexts. Further technical details can be found on the challenge page Proposals should be written in English. All participants are invited to sign up for a WORKSHOP on March 19,2026 (LINK). The deadline for solution submissions is April 30, 2026. Are you up for the challenge?
