Concept development for custom repair solutions

At 3WIS we offer a complete custom repair solution taking the specific asset into account in the specific environment, creating a long lasting repair solution. 

In-depth repair and hotspot identification, that brings the turbine as close to the original manufacture standard as possible.

Service and repair are in most cases a concept that involves standard routine procedures, performed when the wind turbine either breaks down or has clear findings during a routine inspection, as part of the service agreement. The issues with these types of solutions are that they are based on best practice, and not necessarily consider external conditions that might inflict a recurring breakdown.
Conceptual repairs involve in-depth, customized repairs designed to restore the turbine as close as possible to its original manufacturer’s standard. Unlike standard repairs based on generic best practices, conceptual repairs address specific issues identified through detailed inspection and analysis, taking into account the turbine’s unique operational conditions and environment.

Taylored repair solution for your assets

”The main benefit with a repair solution, is that the solution is tailored for the specific asset and not just delivered as a best practice solution, creating a long lasting repair as close to the original manufacture standard as possible. A future beneficial solution, that assess a potential future breakdown of hotspots/weak spots. Also giving turbine owners stronger insights of their assets condition.”

The conceptual repair process

1. We initiate the repair with NDT pre-inspection, identifying the damage and providing an overview of the state of the turbine.
2. To simulate and identify which parts of the turbine that are exposed and critical regarding loads and fatigue areas, which leads to an inspection protocol.
3. If any findings have been detected during the inspections, these will be repaired in order to bring the turbine into an operative condition with the possibility of prolonging the turbine’s life.
4. After the repair solution is implemented, we perform a post inspection to ensure the repair delivers the planned result, before handover.

FAQ: Conceptual Repair solutions

What are conceptual repair solutions?

Conceptual repairs are in-depth, customized solutions designed to restore wind turbines as closely as possible to their original manufacturer’s standards. These repairs address specific, identified issues through detailed inspection and analysis, taking the turbine’s unique conditions into account.

How do conceptual repairs differ from standard service and repair?

Standard repairs follow routine best practices and address immediate issues, often overlooking underlying causes or environmental factors. Conceptual repairs:

- Tailor solutions to the specific turbine and its environment.

- Address recurring problems by identifying and repairing potential weak spots.

-Focus on long-term durability and functionality.

What are the benefits of conceptual repairs?

Conceptual repairs are preventative and proactive. They address potential hotspots and weak points, bringing turbines closer to their original manufacturer’s standards. This approach improves durability, reliability, and overall operational lifespan.

What is the process for conceptual repairs?

1. NDT Pre-Inspection: Identifies damage and develops a protocol for targeted repairs.

2. Assessment & Feasibility Study: Analyzes critical areas to guide custom repair strategies.

3. On-Site Repair: Repairs are implemented, restoring the turbine’s condition.

4. NDT Post-Inspection: Confirms the success and quality of the repairs before handover.
