Our products
We’re committed to innovation.

As a result of our experience in the wind industry, we have invested in the development of cutting edge products.  Combining our in-depth
technical and engineering knowledge, our products offer tangible benefits to your project.

These benefits are achieved through increased visibility of wind resource through data capture and more detailed data analysis leading to
reduced risk and increased commercial viability of your project through increased energy yield prediction. 

We continually innovate, playing an active role in developing ground-breaking technologies for the benefit of the renewable energy
industry. We have a proven track record of providing industry-leading technical and advisory services, working with leading developers,
lenders/investors and operators on some of the world’s largest and most challenging onshore and offshore wind farm sites.

Galion is an advanced wind lidar that represents a significant

development in the visualisation of wind speed and directional
data. With models optimised for onshore and offshore wind data
acquisition, Galion is used to conduct advanced wind flow profiling
across your wind farm site giving greater visualisation over complex
terrain.

Offering a unique, all-sky scanning capability and up to 4km range,

Galion is transforming the way in which wind data is collected and
analysed, giving project developers and investors increased certainty,
improved efficiency and reduced risk.

Galion is available for sale or rental exclusively from SgurrEnergy.

To find out more about Galion or request a brochure, visit

• A guyed lattice tower met mast design with heights of up to
200m
• A permanent free standing lattice tower met mast design with
heights of up to 200m.

All met masts are installed with wind monitoring instrumentation to

provide bank grade wind data and have multiple mounting options.

These innovatively designed met masts, coupled with our

measurement and analysis services, will ensure you have the highest
quality, IEC compliant wind data for your site.

SgurrDataPortal is a comprehensive online data management tool

for wind measurement assets, allowing developers to interactively
manage a large portfolio of measurement campaigns from anywhere
with an internet connection. Built and operated by SgurrEnergy’s
in-house experts,
SgurrDataPortal can manage a wide range of data applications from
onshore to offshore meteorological mast instrumentation, as well as
lidar and sodar devices, securely storing vital campaign information
and data all in one place.

This data management tool allows you to access specific asset

documentation and reports at the click of a button, whilst being able
to assess and sort through a comprehensive event log for each asset
either independently or utilising our expert measurement engineers
and technical services which provide quality checks and monitoring
of your measurement assets. We can support your measurement
assets remotely from our HQ in Glasgow and onsite out in the field
with our monitoring and maintenance packages.

ORQA (Offshore Risk Quantification Analysis) is the very latest remote

technology data monitoring platform, specifically designed to
capture a full picture of offshore conditions including meteorological,
environmental, wave, tidal and foundation information.

ORQA utilises our industry-leading Galion Lidar technology for more

accurate data capture. This cutting-edge technology is transforming
the way we understand wind and gather offshore data. ORQA
deployment can significantly reduce costs associated with offshore
measurement due to Galion’s increased data collection accuracy and
larger ‘weather window’ for deployment.

ORQA offers a versatile, customisable solution for advanced

offshore data collection and risk quantification. You can choose
from a complete range of advanced data capture options, including
meteorological, hydrographic and environmental and foundation
conditions, offering a greater degree of offshore data accuracy than
ever seen before.
