Data Structures  are delighted to confirm that contracts are signed for the design, installation  and commissioning of three new SLX5W PMM towers for delivery this Summer / Autumn in Ireland.

  • Cleanrath Windfarm by Enerco Energy is a 46.2MW development in Co. Cork.
  • Knockranny Windfarm by Enerco Energy is a 48MW development in Co. Cork.
  • Drumnahough Windfarm by SSE & FuturEnergy is a 58MW development in Co. Donegal.

SLX met masts are designed in accordance with IEC61400-50-1.2022 (technical) and Eurocodes (structural) and can be supplied with OEM warranty to 10-years, providing long-term wind measurement to support windfarm operational performance.


These projects further strengthen Data Structures' growing portfolio of met mast installations in Ireland & the UK.

Data Structures continues to progress the replacement of an existing 62m UM50 radio mast in the Midlands of Ireland with a new 62m SLX4T Radio Mast, due for completion this summer.

The project has involved several significant site restrictions, requiring careful planning, phased delivery works and continuous engagement with both our client and their customers to ensure minimal disruption throughout the programme.

Key challenges on site included:

  • Restricted site access due to a low SWL stream crossing, preventing concrete trucks, delivery vehicles and crane access. To overcome this, the mast installation is being carried out using double-certified gin poles to maintain lifting SWL compliance.
  • Antenna line-of-sight and path profile constraints, requiring detailed coordination to determine the optimum mast elevation and phased installation sequencing alongside planned radio outages.
  • Maintaining and improving existing radio coverage throughout the transition phase, involving commissioning of the new mast and RF antenna arrays before the phased decommissioning of the existing structure.

The completed infrastructure will support improved communications capability while ensuring continuity of service during the transition period.

Interestingly, the existing UM50 mast being replaced was originally installed more than 30 years ago by members of the current Data Structures team, highlighting decades of experience in delivering critical communications infrastructure across Ireland and the UK.

The telecoms tower build season is now underway for Data Structures, with several major infrastructure projects progressing across the UK and Ireland.


Our team has begun installation of a 59.5m SLX5T multi-user mobile and telecoms tower in Ireland, designed to provide additional payload capacity and replace an existing 42m SLX5T tower later this summer.

Next on the programme is the installation of a 120m SLX5W heavy-duty met tower supporting a new wind farm development in Scotland, followed by a 62m SLX4T-600 heavy-duty broadcast guyed lattice mast in Ireland. The new broadcast structure will replace an existing UM50 mast, originally installed by members of our current team back in 1994.

Following these projects, Data Structures will deliver two new 36m SLX5T lattice towers in Ireland, ahead of the next phase of tower construction planned under this framework contract later in 2026.


Alongside these telecoms and broadcast installations, our met mast teams remain active across Ireland and Scotland, delivering multiple 80m–120m structures, while our LiDAR rental fleet continues supporting wind measurement campaigns scheduled for Q2.

With a strong pipeline of projects across telecoms, broadcast and renewable energy infrastructure, the coming months promise to be a busy period for our crews on the ground.

With the Christmas countdown in full swing, the Data Structures team is wrapping up another highly successful year across Ireland and the UK.


As we close out 2025, we’re pleased to share a snapshot of several major projects currently moving through their final stages. Each one has been delivered by our in-house teams with the support of our trusted specialist partners.

Projects nearing completion include:

▶️ 42m telecoms tower – County Kerry
A robust multi-user tower designed to enhance local connectivity and long-term network resilience.

▶️ 80m met mast – County Tipperary
Providing investment-grade wind data to support ongoing renewable energy development in the region.

▶️ 100m met mast – Inverness-shire
A fully equipped structure built to perform in challenging terrain and winter conditions.

▶️ 120m met mast – Civils phase – Scottish Borders
Our tallest temporary structure, currently underway, with foundation and civils completion marking another major milestone.

We look forward to sharing further updates early in the new year.
