We evaluate your site for optimal tower placement, considering terrain, obstructions, and regulatory requirements.
We ensure your monitoring plan meets all EPA, state, and local requirements prior to equipment procurement.
Certified installers construct towers from 10m to 60m with proper grounding, guying, and safety compliance.
Precise mounting of all sensors at required heights with correct exposure and orientation.
Complete system checkout, calibration verification, and baseline data review before handoff.
Quarterly site visits, annual audits, and continuous remote monitoring ensure long-term data quality.
For AERMOD compliance, a 10m tower is typically sufficient. Multi-level towers (30m–60m) may be required for complex terrain or elevated sources.
EPA typically requires one year of on-site meteorological data for permitting. Some projects may require up to five years.
Yes. We can often integrate instruments onto existing communication towers, process structures, or other suitable supports.
Quarterly site visits for calibration verification, cleaning, and visual inspection, plus annual performance audits.
