Wind turbines at dusk, operational wind farm

From assumptions
to certainty.

Towers are engineered to withstand worst probable operating conditions because there's insufficient operational data to work from. We built a device that changes that. A continuous read on tower behaviour, so asset decisions are based on evidence.

Built on Assumptions

Towers are engineered to withstand worst probable operating conditions because there's insufficient operational data to work from. The result is millions in premature replacements, over-conservative inspections, and structural risk that stays hidden until it becomes a liability.

Vortex-induced vibration is real, measurable, and happening in your towers right now. Without continuous structural data, operators are left guessing.

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 50 Hz, around the clock. Detects and logs VIV lock-in events across Mode 1, 2, and 3. 90-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.

  • Asset Lifespan Schedule inspections around what the tower is doing, not what the worst probable operating conditions model predicts
  • 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

Wind Farm Owners & Operators

Asset decisions made on conservative estimates, not measured behaviour.

With Datum: Know what your towers are doing. Act on data, not assumptions.

EPC & Construction Firms

Structural uncertainty drives delays that can cost $3M per day.

With Datum: Handovers backed by measured load data, not crew sign-off.

Structural Engineers & Technical Buyers

Designs validated against assumed loads, not measured ones.

With Datum: Measured site data in place of worst probable operating conditions.

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.
