Life Extension of Wind Tower Structures In Situ

Today the service life of a wind turbine is limited by the fatigue life of its weakest links, the welded joints.

By applying Ultrasonic Peening treatment on these hot spots the service life is extended by more than four times. The result is a longer lasting wind turbine structure implicitly causing less environmental stress and a more economical choice.

Ultrasonic Peening treatment is done in situ onshore or offshore by our own trained and certified UP technicians. They are trained in rope access and have a vast understanding of fatigue life extension.
