The wind industry is continually demanding higher quality resource data as new methodologies and standards become adopted by professionals. As a result, met tower installations are subjected to increased scrutiny by third party analysts.
Seventh Generation is committed to providing met tower installations that withstand the rigorous review of AWS Truepower, Garrad-Hassan, GEC and many other reputable resource analysts. We work closely with tower manufacturers, government labs and leading meteorologists to ensure every one of our met tower installations meets or exceeds the latest in industry standards.

60-80-100 Meter Met tower masts
As the average hub height of wind turbines climbs higher, so must your measurement equipment. Our team sells and installs met towers of 60, 80, and 100 meters from market leaders. The result is accurate reliable wind speed data at the location you need it. Call our Resource Division to learn more about met towers and data analysis.
