Since the environment for onshore projects became less favourable, direct competitor companies that specialised in met mast installations have gone out of business. Other companies that provide a range of engineering and technical services have mothballed their met mast installation crews. But we’re still here, with a flexible crew who can take time out during quieter periods […]

Solarwheel design, build and install a stand alone power supply in Khazakstan.  In this picture the air was -33C. The system relays data 3 kms using a long range WiMax wifi link. The design brief was very exacting due to the extreme ambient temperature range. In Summer +30C, and winter down to -40C. The objective : Provide a year […]

Check out our fleet of vehicles in action installing an 80 Metre Nexgen H1 Met Mast. Featuring our custom 4×4 Mercedes truck with crew cab and trailer capable of carrying the complete mast kit, tooling and crew to site.

A few summers ago we installed a 70 Metre Nexgen HiMast for the RSPB in Sandy, Bedfordshire to monitor the available wind resource.  The successful data acquisition campaign proved that the site was viable and the local council awarded planning consent to the RSPB to install a 100m Meter Wind Turbine. It’s expected to produce half of all RSPB UK […]

Following numerous requests for us to handle heavier ‘bolt together’ masts, as supplied by Chillwind and others, we have invested in our own Heavy duty Gin-pole to enable us to raise and lower them safely. Our Gin-pole is comprised of 3m sections, and can extend to 18m in length for masts up to 90m in […]

We’re pleased to announce that over the last 4 years we have installed 200 Met Masts.T hanks to the crew for all their hard work, helping to realise future UK wind Projects. We believe these numbers make us the most prolific Met Mast Installer in the UK. Mast Size Installed 90 1 80 28 70 59 […]
