30metertall

30metertall is a descriptive label used in planning, documentation, and inventories to indicate that an object or structure reaches a height of thirty meters. It is not a formal architectural term by itself, but a practical shorthand that can appear in technical briefs, project specifications, and catalog entries.

Usage and contexts

The phrase can apply to a wide range of vertical features, including towers, chimneys, sculptures, masts, flagpoles, wind turbine towers, and certain large trees. In written Dutch or Norwegian contexts, the corresponding expression is typically a language-specific phrase meaning “thirty meters high,” while 30m tall is a common abbreviation in technical English documentation. The term serves as a way to communicate scale quickly without naming the exact type of structure.

Measurement considerations

Height is usually measured from a defined base or ground level to the highest point of the feature. Conventions vary on whether to include tall attachments such as antennas, spires, or finials; some contexts also specify whether foundations or landscaped bases count toward the total. Clear reference points are essential to ensure consistent comparisons across inventories.

Notability

There is no single landmark universally identified as “30metertall.” Rather, the term functions as a generic classification used across disciplines to describe objects around the 30-meter height mark.
