INSPECTION & REPAIR Inspection Services Inspection is a vital part of an effective wind turbine maintenance strategy. The results of a thorough and comprehensive inspection regime can pinpoint areas of concern, and establish an effective course of action which can be taken to maintain efficient turbine operation.
As well as a comprehensive end of warranty inspection regime, Windtechnics can provide all of these services separately at every stage of the turbine life cycle to ensure owners have a detailed picture of turbine condition. This can assist in identifying critical component wear and eliminating critical component failure.
Windtechnics provide a complete range of wind turbine inspection services to ensure potential failures are identified at an early stage enabling effective preventative maintenance plans to be developed.
Major Component Exchange Windtechnics provide major component replacement for all makes and models of wind turbine. Our knowledge and experience of gearbox and generator replacement gives our teams the capability to provide a complete removal, refurbishment and replacement service.
Perhaps the most crucial inspection for any wind turbine is the end of warranty inspection; this is carried out in the months prior to the end of the warranty period to establish the condition of the turbine before the warranty period expires. Any defects or damage identified at this stage are the responsibility of the warranty provider and must be rectified before handover. A thorough and detailed end of warranty inspection can save owners a great deal of money. Windtechnics end of warranty inspections covers in excess of 250 separate items, and includes the following inspection services: • General turbine condition – structural, electrical and mechanical condition • Endoscopic gearbox inspection • Oil analysis • Vibration monitoring and analysis • Blade inspection
This integrated approach to major component exchange minimises downtime, and reduces the costs associated with major component failure. To ensure all works are completed quickly and effectively Windtechnics provide the following: • Cranes & associated health and safety documentation • Gearbox/Generator extraction and reinstatement • Refurbishment • Storage and transportation In addition to major component exchanges and refurbishment Windtechnics also carry out a comprehensive range of fault finding and refurbishment work on a wide variety of ancillary turbine components and systems such as torque arms, electrical control cabinets, yaw gear, pitch systems and hydraulic systems.
