Lattice Towers
As hub heights of wind turbines increase, there is a greater industry need for 80 to 100 meter meteorological measuring equipment. Measuring wind data at the height of turbine operation increases the accuracy of energy production estimates and reduces the uncertainty of extrapolating data from shorter towers.
For wind projects with high wind regimes that might necessitate the usage of large turbines, installing an 80 meter-100 meter met tower might be the answer you are looking for.
National Wind Assessments is an authorized dealer of 80 and 100 meter lattice towers and offers a comprehensive installation and maintenance package. Our team is skilled and efficient in 80 and 100 meter installs and we are certified tower climbers. All 80 and 100 meter towers are equipped with industry-standard data loggers and sensors.
The durable, lattice structure of these towers provides many benefits:
- Data Collection at Turbine Hub Heights. Taller 80-100 meter towers collect data at the height at which most wind turbines operate today. This guarantees that data collected from these towers will directly correlate with the conditions your project's turbines will experience.
- Simple, Low-Cost Maintenance. Because of their sturdy lattice structure, these towers allow instrumentation maintenance via tower climbers. Climbing an 80 meter tower is much more convenient and cost effective than the overall price of lowering and re-raising towers to perform regular maintenance.
- Easy Transportation. Lattice structures are lightweight and come in small, stack-able sections, making them easy to transport.
