A Gigantic Challenge

Annually check-tightening tens of thousands of hard to access bolts with heavy high pressure hydraulic equipment is a giant task for wind turbine operational teams.

In our latest project EchoBolt has been pleased to support SSE Renewables with strategies for transitioning their Irish Onshore Wind Fleet to data led bolt integrity management.

Demonstrating viability of ultrasonic inspection of structural bolts across one of their biggest turbine fleets will eliminate much of the cost and risks associated with repeated check-tightening and provide greater assurance of integrity.
