Rio Tinto Renewables Assessment in Pilbara

Case Studies

Information

Fulcrum3D is currently working with Rio Tinto in WA, assessing wind resources available to the miner’s operations in the Pilbara. Fulcrum3D SODARs (sonic detection and ranging) have been deployed to record wind speed and direction data up to 150m at multiple locations. See the documents section for a recent interview about the project.
Fulcrum3DFulcrum3D provide wind and solar resource monitoring solutions and data management technology. Clients: Rio Tinto, FMG, AngloGold, Goldfields, Vestas, Juwi, Aggreko Fulcrum3D have supported bankable resource monitoring campaigns for over 10 years and currently monitor over 7GW of wind and solar globally.  The company has seen the mining sector’s interest in these technologies grow exponentially in the past few years — in fact, the mining segment was a primary avenue of growth for Fulcrum3D last year.   In the past year, the company has deployed a combination of wind and solar monitoring stations to over 20 mining sites in Western Australia (WA) alone, and expect this growth to accelerate further in the years to come.
