UNUSUAL RIGGING

We use Windcrane because it has the capability of equipment that meets our needs - for reliable use in remote locations anywhere in the World.
The 3G connection, recording of information on a central server and ability to access via PC or mobile device anywhere in the world is very important for us in terms of monitoring our tower structures and cable camera systems at winter and summer sporting events.
The ability to use solar energy to power systems enables use in very remote locations.
We use the WINDCRANE systems for basic safety monitoring of our tower structures from our UK base – the main role.
Also for local operational information when the cable camera systems are installed – live monitoring of wind speed and temperature at the tower site for example.
We also use the systems on other temporary event structures where wind speed is a major safety factor.

The WINDCRANE mini brings reassurance and peace of mind not only to us as the artists but also to our clients. The online monitoring and the app makes it easy for us to give access to the data to the people who need it. Production mangers for the event, on-site maintenance teams and the client's themselves can check the windspeed with a click of a button no matter where they are located. This ensure we all can react quickly if needed. Our requirements were simple, our team and customers needed to know what the wind speed was right now. Windcrane delivered it.

VESTAS

We are using Windcrane Max unit with a solar battery charger on the top of wind turbines at a height approx. 135 m. We need to be able to monitor wind speed and direction on the site, until we have grid power on sites. The units are very reliable. As far as data, the app and the website are very intuitive and pretty easy to use and set up.

WHEATLEY GROUP

The purpose of the investment of Windcrane Max some years ago was to get real-time wind speed data to log peak at the point of damage to EWI, thereby informing any insurance claim or litigation. However it also has a great use case in terms of H&S and other planning.

ALIGN JV

Windcrane anemometer is standard equipment on any tower crane supplied to the project. We have weather stations all across the project that link into AI (artificial intelligence) using Windcrane data will further enhance the applications weather predictions giving us more clarity to plan works around high level weather events. This wind data is of great value to our work, and most importantly it ensures that we do not put our staff at risk.

Dragonfly Consulting

We use Windcrane products to log wind speeds and directions from a wind vane and anemometer attached to a 10m mast as well as collecting concurrent rain data for use as part of wind turbine noise impact assessments. Being able to access and download historic data remotely at any time is an incredible benefit for us. This data, along with noise levels recorded at the nearest Noise Sensitive Receptors, enable us to carry out Noise Impact Assessments of wind turbines using the guidance in ETSU-R-97 - Assessment & Rating of Noise from Wind Farms, in order to aid our clients in situations such as supporting planning applications for new wind turbine developments.

ITISON EVENTS

With the reliability of our Windcrane wind monitoring system for both our major events in Glasgow during the winter months of 2022; GlasGLOW and Elfingrove, we realised it was a piece of essential equipment for the safety of our team and our customers.The data received went directly to us all including our client, project managers and technicians during the builds and throughout their duration, which ensured tight control on any safety risks and warnings. The safety of our customers is our first priority, and with these weather predictions it gave us more clarity to plan the events around high level winter weather conditions.

FREYSSINET UK

The accurate and reliable wind speed data is crucial for our lifting operations at Hinkley Point. With Windcrane’s system, we have access to past, real-time, and forecast wind data along with the user-friendly interface. This has greatly enhanced our ability to make informed decisions and optimize our operations accordingly.

ORIGIN TECHNICAL PRODUCTIONS

To have a system on site whilst building stage and production that monitors wind without mains electricity is greatly beneficial to us. With the Windcrane Max we can plan ahead and ensure the time we are on site is used efficiently and with less risk. The data sends immediate notifications of high winds to myself and key others - production manager, technician and also our direct clients wherever they are onsite through the phone app ensuring tight safety controls are adhered to.

Tom Burgum - Operations Manager

Flamingo Land Resort

Safety on our rides is key, and to be able to source robust, accurate sensors which are compatible with our own systems has been extremely beneficial. The installation of the Endurance wind monitoring sensor has enabled us to detect dangerous conditions and react quickly and efficiently ensuring the safety of our visitors, and effectively control wind related risks.

James Mulryan, IT Engineer

EVOLUTION STAGE HIRE

Our Windcrane Max system enables us to deliver our events safely and on time. Our stage is a big build and we need to know, for the safety of our team and of other contractors on site, what the weather will be over the days ahead so we can schedule other jobs if there is a chance to be winded off - it saves us money. The system is battery powered, so we are able to work on site without mains electricity giving us that step ahead.

Cranes Winded off ?

Back it up with real wind speed from the crane
Windcrane Weekly Historical Report Mockup.png

On large construction projects, it is very common that cranes will need to stop the lifting
operation due to wind and bad weather. This often results in disputes on job delays
between the construction company, developers, crane operators and contractors.


WINDCRANE solves this by centralising Live and historical wind data from the crane. The
information is accessible to everyone involved in the project and in real time.

 

Plan lifting operations and schedules

Detailed site specific wind speed data and forecast

Windcrane Weekly Forecast Report.png

When planning daily and weekly lifting operations, detailed wind forecasts for your cranes and site are essential.

Find out which hours of the day are optimal for lifting and which days will be difficult due to a
forecast for high wind speeds on site.

WINDCRANE gives detailed hourly wind forecast specific to your crane or construction site every day as often as you need

 

 


What time of the day is best for certain lifts?

The WINDCRANE data allows you to look at the windiest times of the day/month/year on a specific site and plan your lifting schedule, deliveries, maintenance much more efficiently. ​

An hour by hour colour coded wind forecast provides a quick view of potential timeframe of unsafe wind on site. ​

WINDCRANE forecast is updated hour by hour and you can request as many reports as you need every day for every crane.
