Prove the Margin,
Extend the Lifecycle.

Every tower is engineered to survive a worst case that almost never happens. That unused margin is real value — but only if you can prove it. Continuous structural monitoring gives operators the loading history to make that case, right when a repowering or PPA decision is on the table.

Built on Assumptions

Towers are engineered to withstand worst probable operating conditions because there's insufficient operational data to work from. Most never see that worst case. The gap between what an asset was designed to survive and what it actually endured is real value — sitting unused at exactly the moment operators need it most: deciding whether an aging asset is safe to keep running, or whether to sign the next PPA on the strength of that decision.

Vortex-induced vibration is real, measurable, and happening in your towers right now. Without a loading history to prove it, that value stays locked up — and operators are left deciding on assumptions, not evidence.

1 Hz SCADA resolution

SCADA captures tower data, but at 1 Hz it can't see beyond Mode 1 lock-in. Mode 2 and Mode 3 VIV events carry higher fatigue loads and are invisible to it entirely. The data exists. The resolution doesn't.

The Datum Wind Tower Monitor

One device. No expensive consultant to interpret the output. The Datum tells you how your tower is behaving.

Deploy

Magnetic mount. Self-configuring. IP67-rated for all-weather operation. Battery-powered for construction-phase deployment; external power for long-term operation. A single crew member installs in seconds.

Monitor

Samples tower movement at 32 Hz, around the clock. Detects and logs VIV lock-in events across Mode 1, 2, and 3. 30-day battery. Nothing to maintain.

Insight

Analysis runs on the device. No cloud dependency, no data pipeline to maintain. VIV events are classified at the edge and reported as structured data. SCADA integration is available for operators who want it — not required.

Extend

Design assumptions get replaced by measured behaviour. Towers last longer. Maintenance decisions get sharper. The financial case compounds per asset.

What Real Data Is Worth

Every extra year compounds across the fleet.

  • Repowering & PPA Decisions Defensible loading history for the moment it matters most — extending an aging asset's life or signing the next power purchase agreement
  • Insurance Measured behaviour gives underwriters something real to price
  • Capital Replace towers when the data says to, not when the estimate says you should have
  • Handover OEM compliance backed by load data, not crew sign-off
  • Data Ownership The loading history is yours outright — not locked in a vendor's black box or a one-time consultant report

We are running pilots now

Close the data gap

We're running a small number of pilots this year with operators who want to know what their towers are doing. If that's you, reach out.
