Wind power

Vertikal Service annually delivers a number of projects for wind power plants in the Nordic region.

Examples of services we can provide for the wind power industry

  • Inspection of wind turbine blades, nacelle, and tower

  • NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) of pedestal, foundation, and welded connections
  • Bolt inspection in foundation and internal ladder
  • Annual inspection of crane and lifting equipment in the turbine

A cost-effective power upgrade concept 
A power upgrade will help increase production under variable wind conditions and reduce stress on bearings, shafts, gearboxes, and generators.

  • Stall strips (for stall-regulated turbines)
    • Function: to allow the wind to slip at the leading edge in case of too much wind/production.
  • Gurney flaps
    • Function: to allow the wind to slip off the trailing edge on the suction side and reduce turbulence.
  • Vortex generators
    • Function: to gather the wind and direct it to stay longer on the suction side for greater lift.

Repair of damage

  • Blade grinding
  • Blade painting
  • Composite repair
  • Damage caused by birds
  • Damage caused by lightning
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Cleaning of grease and oil leaks
