Services
Before a wind energy facility can be constructed, developers need to determine the wind resource of the site with a high degree of certainty. Our services range from:
Met Tower Installation
Wind Rivers is a recognized leader in meteorological (met) tower installation and collecting and analyzing wind data. Our met towers are installed in the early stages of wind farm development. The towers are used to collect wind data for accurate placement of wind turbines. We install 40, 50, and 60 meter towers for precise wind measurement.
Tower Relocations
Wind Rivers has two professional and competent crews trained to successfully layout and design met tower placement. All structure locations will be selected to avoid sensitive species or habitat areas.
Tower Decommissioning
Our crew is trained to efficiently dismantle the tower and remove all anchors, leaving the site at it's natural state.
Tower and Sensor Replacement
Our crews monitor and maintain the towers and sensors, ensuring the most efficient performance.
Two Professional and Competent Crews
Our crews are fully trained with safety as their primary goal in erecting and lowering or dismantling the met tower.
Diverse Employment Opportunities
Wind Rivers believes in diversity, recognizing the unique contributions that individuals with many types of differences can make, and creating a work environment that maximizes the potential of all employees. Half of our employees are War Veterans, having served our Country in the Iraq War.

Our crew custom manufactures boom arms for "co-location" and lattice towers.
Wind Rivers now manufactures a Lightning Resistant Meteorological Tower which is rated to 135 MPH! Please contact us for our rates.
Consulting Services
We offer custom project creation and tower engineering review for your project locations, with consideration to any "fatal flaws" in wind turbine placement. We will be happy to assist with project permits, including zoning and wildlife issues.
Service Contracts Available
Once a tower is installed, Wind Rivers will coordinate regular data collection and routine site visits to maintain and repair all components, ensuring the most precise wind measurement.
