End-Of-Warranty Inspections for Wind Turbines

Identify defects before the end-of-warranty milestone

The early years of a wind farm project are where many of the critical design, manufacturing and installation flaws become exposed. These errors can be significant and costly. This is especially true when they are serial in nature. It often takes time for these errors to become visible which is why the End-of-Warranty milestone is such a good time to examine your assets.

Our experts have been involved in warranty management and inspection for the wind industry for years. Through our experience, we are well versed with the types of manufacturing defects and operational issues which arise during the life of a wind turbine.

Importance of End-of-Warranty Inspections

Allow you assess the general condition of your asset after it has had a reasonable amount of time in operation.
Identify and log any significant defects prior to the warranty expiry.
Allow you to engage with your supplier or contractor regarding these defects, plan their resolution or establish claims.
Protect your business from inheriting the cost of defects should they not be detected within the warranty period.

How Mech-V Can Help

We appreciate that wind turbine technologies can differ considerably between model generations. We are keenly aware of how newer design concepts may alter the playing field. As experienced wind engineers, we know that new technologies, systems and components need to be scrutinised based on their inherent operation and design principles. This means that we examine the technology as it is and target the highest risk areas which are inherent to the machine.

We are fully staffed and organised to support you with the inspections you may need to have completed on your wind farm project. Our team can schedule and complete inspections at your convenience, and we guarantee the highest level of safety and expert quality field inspection. We also understand that a thorough inspection followed by clear and concise reporting is an integral element of the End-of-Warranty process and how vital it is when claiming defects against the contract.
