Investigations and inspections

We use an array of techniques that have been developed to ensure major components are replaced only when conditions warrant such a replacement.

We have the capabilities to inspect and test all systems and components within wind turbine and balance of plant system boundaries.

Pre warranty expiration inspections

We perform impartial assessments of the condition of your wind turbines in order to identify any defects prior to the end of warranty term. This allows you and the Original Equipment Manufacturer to take corrective action to avoid any unnecessary rectification costs being incurred by yourselves.

Due diligence inspections

We inspect and verify equipment integrity and site conditions prior to project sale, financial transaction or site hand over.

Remote Visual Inspection

Remote visual inspection on wind turbines is exceptionally useful to inspect gearboxes, main bearings and other critical components. An endoscope is inserted into difficult areas to reach, allowing us to take still images, video footage and accurate remote measurements.

Non destructive testing

We incorporate non destructive testing techniques into our maintenance activities. This is because we understand the importance of using all available techniques that may provide a higher degree of maintenance scheduling and defect identification, especially in an asset that receives such dynamic loads.

Our readily available NDT resources currently include but are not limited to:

		Phased array
		Penetrative dye techniques
		Eddy current testing
		Tap testing
		Local acoustic spectroscopy
		Infrared thermography

Root cause analysis

We have Specialists capable of providing comprehensive programmes for undertaking root cause analysis. Issues are addressed by:

		Defining the problem
		Gathering data/evidence
		Identifying the true root cause associated with the issue
		Identifying corrective action(s) that will prevent recurrence
		Implement the recommendations
		Meet your goals and objectives and do not cause other problems
		Observing the recommended solutions to ensure effectiveness
