How do Wind Turbine Damage Examinations work?

A wind turbine damage examination is an important part of your insurance company's damage assessment. The examination helps your insurance company determine the origins and extent of your damages.

Therefore, it is important that this damage examination is performed with such detail and precision, that your insurance company can use the examination in their damage assessment. Unfortunately, a faulty or lacking damage examination can, in worst cases, lead to a lower coverage from your insurance company.

With over 100+ years of knowledge and experience with wind turbine components, we are perfectly suited to advise and help you with a detailed  and precise damage examination. That's also why, our workshop in Herning, Denmark, is specialized in performing cause-of-damage analysis based on our damage examination.

Basically, these examinations and analysis give your insurance company full insight into the damages to your wind turbine and help them create a well-informed damage assessment. This in turn, will increase your chances of a preferable outcome.

Finally, dependent on the outcome of the assessment and the damages to the wind turbine component, we also offer repairs, full refurbishments or replacement solutions.

What does a Wind Turbine Damage Examination include?

Your component may be covered by your insurance company depending on the nature of the damages. To get coverage of the damages, it is necessary to determine the origination and extent of the damage. We're able to disassemble your component to perform a detailed and thorough examination of your wind turbine components.

During the damage examination, we review all main components, which covers:

  • Gearboxes
  • Generators
  • Yaw systems
  • Main shafts

Consequently, we assure you that all parts will be inspected, measured, and examined thoroughly.

 

What happens with your Damaged Component?

Once the damage examination is done, you're left with a damaged or broken main component. In this case, we'll offer to repair or completely refurbish the damaged component.

But, in some cases, a component may be so damaged that it cannot be refurbished or repaired. In this case, we will contact you and let you decide whether we should discard or keep the component.

We also offer sourcing of replacement components for your wind turbine if needed.
