Construction of an 80m Met Mast Installation

At Galetech Measurement Services, we proudly announce the completion of another 80-metre met mast installation as part of our continued commitment to providing accurate and bankable data solutions for renewable energy developers.

This latest project forms a crucial part of a broader wind energy assessment programme, supporting early-stage development and long-term performance forecasting for a proposed wind farm in the southeast of Ireland.

About the Project

The installation of this 80m meteorological mast was carried out in line with IEC 61400-50-1 standards, ensuring the highest level of data integrity. The mast is equipped with:

●           First Class Advanced II anemometers positioned at multiple heights

●           Wind vanes for directional measurement

●           Barometric pressure and temperature sensors

●           Data logging and remote telemetry system for real-time data access

Our team delivered the project from the initial site assessments to full commissioning, including groundworks, mast erection, and instrument install.

Why Met Masts Still Matter

While LiDAR technology continues to grow in use, met masts remain a cornerstone of wind resource assessment. Their role in validating remote sensing devices and providing long-term reference data is critical 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: High-resolution data stream now

live and supporting ongoing resource analysis
