Headwind Solutions brings smarter and more efficient solutions to Houston’s oil and gas industry.
Houston is a global leader in oil and gas production, but with high production comes high risk. Traditional gas detection systems are time-consuming and expensive to maintain. These two systems are revolutionizing operations in the oil and gas industry.
ShockerEDGE utilizes an advanced molecular spectrometer to detect dangerous gases present in the air, while ShockerPASS is a mechanical safeguard against diesel engine runaways. ShockerEDGE and ShockerPASS systems deliver smarter, earlier intervention, helping your operation avoid catastrophic failures and keep operating without disruption.

Stopping Diesel Engine Runaway in its Tracks.
Why Houston Operators Should Choose ShockerEDGE and ShockerPASS
When you’re working against the clock in Houston’s oilfields, gas plants, or transportation hubs, efficiency and safety must go hand in hand. That’s why more operators are turning to the power of ShockerEDGE and ShockerPASS, two innovative systems designed to solve real-world frustrations.
ShockerEDGE is the only engine-mounted technology of its kind in North America that shuts down internal combustion engines the moment it detects hazardous ambient hydrocarbons. It continuously monitors the intake air to respond to the presence of gas, protecting employees, assets and the operational environment.
ShockerPASS is a precision-engineered positive air shut-off valve that prevents diesel engine runaway by cutting off airflow when RPM is exceeded. It is mounted in the engine’s air intake and activates automatically, delivering a fast and complete shutdown. It ensures critical protection exactly when it matters most.
These tools don’t just detect hazards; they keep your operations safe and change how your team works for the better.
