Enviroplan Consulting engineers and technical staff have designed, supplied, tested and installed hundreds of turnkey meteorological monitoring systems to meet regulatory agency and other stringent requirements. Our expertise in providing custom, fully tested and integrated meteorological monitoring systems simplifies field installation and eliminates the burden of finding in-house resources to perform this work and helps keep projects on schedule. We offer a range of services in this area, including:

System design and integration using customer-supplied sensors and monitoring equipment.

Recommendation and procurement of sensors and monitoring equipment based on data application and data quality objectives.

System engineering documentation, itemized costs and Bill of Materials can be provided for approval prior to procurement for individual or multiple monitoring systems.

Expert system integration and assembly using high-quality components and materials that provide years of reliable service life.

Complete programming and testing of data acquisition systems and data communications modems.

Signal cables and wiring terminations are fully prepared, finished and ready for use. All wiring connectors are clearly labeled for easy identification and installation in the field.

Each monitoring system is subjected to comprehensive performance tests prior to shipping. Each monitoring parameter is calibrated using traceable standards and “input-to-output” test methods with all monitoring system components fully assembled and operating as designated for the “as installed” measurement system. Quality control and calibration documentation is provided to the customer and included with each system.

Meteorological monitoring systems are shipped as fully assembled as practical with complete engineering documentation for simple and quick field installation.

Enviroplan Consulting began offering meteorological analysis and monitoring services for the wind energy industry in 2007 and has provided similar meteorological analysis services to the electric power industry, other industries and government agencies for over 30 years. We have supplied meteorological monitoring services and systems to wind energy companies for projects in the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions as well as in Texas and Alaska. We have conducted operation and maintenance, quality assurance, data analysis and reporting and auditing of over 140 meteorological towers with 1,079 meteorological parameters for over 3,900 parameter-years.

Highly trained monitoring technicians carry out meteorological and sensor component and electronic instrumentation repair. Our field engineering resources, diagnostic instrumentation, and large spare parts and monitor inventory help assure reliable network operations.

A fully equipped quality assurance laboratory is maintained at our Fairfield, NJ headquarters. This laboratory provides the NIST-traceable calibration/certification standards for all meteorological parameters including anemometer drive motors, torque measuring devices, azimuth test fixtures, barometric pressure standards, and thermometer standards. Our over 3,900 parameter-years of experience with meteorological monitoring include instrumentation from every major manufacturer as well as a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment.

The best evidence of the satisfaction of our clients with our meteorological monitoring services is the percent of valid data collection and the period of time our clients continue to use us for their monitoring needs. Every one of the over 140 meteorological towers and over 3,900 parameter-years of meteorological monitoring that Enviroplan Consulting has conducted has achieved or exceeded their valid quality assured data collection requirements and 97% of them continued using Enviroplan Consulting through completion of the monitoring program even though these individual monitoring programs have operated for up to 16 years.
