Supporting the development and operation of windfarms
Sixense provides advanced monitoring services for wind farms that support the safe performance of turbines and their supporting infrastructure throughout the project lifecycle. Using a range of sensors such as accelerometers, inclinometers, strain gauges, and settlement monitors, Sixense measures how turbine towers, foundations, and ground conditions respond to operational loads, wind, and environmental forces. These systems deliver precise, continuous data while operating unobtrusively alongside normal wind farm activity.
Monitoring services are particularly valuable during construction and commissioning phases, when foundations, piling operations, and lifting activities can introduce vibration, movement, or stress into surrounding ground and structures. Sixense enables real-time tracking against predefined thresholds, with automated alerts that allow teams to adjust methods immediately if limits are approached. This reduces risk to assets, improves construction quality, and helps ensure compliance with design and regulatory requirements.
During operation, Sixense supports long-term asset integrity and performance through structural health monitoring and vibration recording of turbines and associated infrastructure. Data is displayed through our Beyond Monitoring software, offering dashboards, trend analysis, and reporting tools that support predictive maintenance and informed asset management. By detecting early signs of fatigue, abnormal movement, or changing performance, Sixense helps operators reduce unplanned downtime, extend asset life, and maximize the reliability and efficiency of wind farm operations.
