Heath Discover AMLD Off-Road
Evolving for Rugged Off-Road Environments
Helix assisted Heath with the development of Discover AMLD Off-Road system to equip UTVs in rural and off-road locations with their leak detection system. Helix had previously worked with Heath to develop their handheld Remote Methane Leak Detectors, followed by Discover AMLD for use on vehicles throughout urban and suburban neighborhoods.
The off-road environment required custom mounting, and an enclosure to protect the front-mounted components.
A Closer Look At The Project
“Helix recently helped us design and develop prototypes of an Advanced Detector solution which has been extremely well received in the marketplace for its performance, ruggedness, ease of use and aesthetics.“

Project Objectives:
- Develop mounting features to secure the AMLD system to specific UTV models
- Design an enclosure with debris guard to contain and protect the front-mounted components
- Fabricate full-scale mock-ups
- Develop production documentation for transition to manufacturing
Helix’s Approach:
- Develop multiple concepts to target objectives for aesthetics, robustness, and ease of installation
- Leverage our internal engineering team to develop 3D CAD models while maintaining design intent
Product Solutions:
- Multiple concepts funneled to one direction for refinement and evaluation mock-up
- Production CAD and 2D drawings
- Full-scale prototype enclosures
- Off-road testing/evaluation
- Develop installation guide
