At Galetech Measurement Services, we proudly announce the completion of another 80-metre met mast installation. This project reflects our commitment to providing accurate and bankable data solutions for renewable energy developers.
About the Project
The installation of this 80m meteorological mast was executed in line with IEC 61400-50-1 standards. This ensures the highest level of data integrity. The mast is equipped with several advanced instruments, including:
First Class Advanced II anemometers positioned at multiple heights
Wind vanes for directional measurement
Barometric pressure and temperature sensors
A data logging and remote telemetry system for real-time data access
Our dedicated team managed the project from initial site assessments to full commissioning. This included groundworks, mast erection, and instrument installation.
Importance of Met Masts in Renewables
Despite the rise of LiDAR technology, met masts remain essential in wind resource assessment. They play a critical role in validating remote sensing devices. Moreover, these masts provide long-term reference data, which is vital for investment-grade reporting and wind farm bankability.

Project Highlights
Height: 80 metres
Compliance: IEC 61400-50-1 standard
Safety: Zero incidents—built and commissioned under strict health and safety protocols
Outcome: A high-resolution data stream is now live and supports ongoing resource analysis
Supporting Smarter Renewable Projects
This project demonstrates our capability to deliver turnkey measurement solutions. Our services help clients reduce uncertainty, secure financing, and foster confidence in their renewable projects.
Advanced Technology Integration
In addition to met masts, we also incorporate modern technologies like LiDAR. These technologies enhance data accuracy and improve measurement processes. By combining traditional methods with innovative solutions, we ensure comprehensive data analysis for wind and solar projects.
The Future of Wind Resource Measurement
As the renewable energy sector evolves, so does the need for sophisticated measurement tools. We believe that met masts, paired with new technology, will continue to be a cornerstone of wind resource assessment. The synergy between traditional methods and advanced technologies paves the way for a more sustainable future.
