Windwerk Services

Wind turbines are exposed to enormous stress during their lifetime. Not eliminated deficiencies may affect their performance. To always high availability to achieve a reliable power production and maximum current income, regular maintenance and dependent monitoring by experienced operational leader is indispensable.

Why wind farm services are so important

#1
reason

Wind and solar farms are now important and in future the relevant power plants of the power supply of a country. Modern large farms consist of highly complex machines and require more than ever the professional management.

#2
reason

As operator you have to enforce your interests to manufacturers and maintenance companies. Neglected deadlines or lack of knowledge of technical coherences can quickly result in expensive consequences. To make the right decisions, it takes know-how and many years of experience with different types of machinery.

Inspections help to protect your warranty claims

Wind turbines are subject to extreme strain. Weather effects can cause massive damage which may impede, or even preclude, operation. Technical inspections help to obtain clarity on the current status of the turbine, identify defects as early as possible, and as a result avoid costly consequential damage. This minimizes the maintenance effort, ensures a long service life of the machinery, and improves availability.

Consulting Generates Added Value

Important for the successful construction, operation and purchase or sale of wind farms are fair contractual regulations. Contracts are often complex due to manifold technical descriptions and may be designed one-sidedly to the detriment of the operator, a factor which can then put him at a financial disadvantage. The knowledge and implementation of appropriate regulations in your contracts by our legal and technical experts give you security.
