Overview
Wind Is Local. Wind Is Variable.
Wind is one of the most dynamic environmental variables. Speed and direction change by seconds, and wind at one location can differ significantly from wind a few metres away. Building geometry, surface roughness, terrain, and height above ground all create local variations that regional forecasts cannot capture. A measurement at ground level may bear little resemblance to the wind on a building rooftop, a vessel deck, or a crane jib nearby.
Only on-site monitoring gives the accurate, real-time wind data needed for safety-critical operations, marine navigation, and research-grade measurement. A wind monitoring and alert system measures actual wind conditions at the point of interest and warns automatically when conditions approach defined limits. Wind monitoring solutions for marine vessels and dynamic positioning, ports and heavy lifting, structural and bridge monitoring, work-at-height and lifting operations, outdoor events, and research applications are available through Wetec.
