Success stories
Blade Stud Failures - Assessment and Investigation
Wind turbine blade connections are notoriously challenging to manage with regular integrity problems and difficult maintenance access.
Blade bearing exchange - Bolt management
A significant part of replacing wind turbine drive train components is ensuring high quality, efficient tightening of critical bolted connections.
Offshore Foundation Bolted Connections - Condition Monitoring
EchoBolt has supported RWE with a long-term monitoring and inspection campaign for offshore wind monopile foundations.
Phased array inspection of industrial bolt defects
Large, bolted connections across industries may be subject to fatigue and ultimate failure. Phased array ultrasonics is state of the art technology for non-destructive defect investigation of these bolts.
Wind Farm Life Extension - Structural Inspections
As wind assets approach design life, the opportunity to continue safe and efficient operation is a key value lever for wind turbine operators.
Wind Turbine Tower Connections - Preload Assessment
In partnership with GE Renewable Energy and ORE Catapult we have completed the assessment of bolt preloads in wind turbine tower connections to help eliminate hydraulic check-tightening
