SGS Weather & Environmental Systems Pvt. Ltd.

SGS Weather and Environmental Systems is an Indian company that supplies weather and environmental monitoring equipment. Its range includes weather sensors, environmental monitoring systems and solar radiation sensors. It also offers environmental consultancy and complete turnkey weather projects.

The company says turnkey means it handles the whole job. This includes choosing sites, supplying equipment, installing it and running it. It also covers maintenance and equipment calibration. It says its main strength is long-term maintenance of the systems it sells. The site says it has a large fleet of service engineers for this work.

The company lists surface and marine weather monitoring systems. These form the basic observing network that weather forecasting relies on. The site stresses that such systems must run without breaks, because forecasts depend on a steady supply of basic data.

Airports are a clear area of focus. The site explains that weather measurements at an airport are vital for safe landing and take-off. Key readings include pressure, temperature, humidity, rain, and wind speed and direction. Runway visual range and cloud height near touchdown matter too. The company recently installed an AWOS, an automated weather observing system, at a new private airport in Durgapur, West Bengal.

SGS Weather also works on remote sensing. This includes Doppler radar and LIDAR. Doppler radar detects weather data for air traffic control and storms. The company installed S-Band Doppler weather radars for the India Meteorological Department at Karikal.

Other projects include real-time noise monitoring stations in seven major cities for the Central Pollution Control Board. A high-range ceilometer with air pollution monitoring was set up at IITM Pune. The company also reports more than 135 online solar radiation systems installed across India.

The company has offices in Gurgaon and Hyderabad. Its website describes each product line and has a form for business enquiries.
