Blade inspection and maintenance specialist, Altitec, has completed end of warranty (EOW) blade inspections at the Amakhala Wind Farm in South African’s Eastern Cape. The inspections were undertaken in partnership with Nordex Energy South Africa (RF) (PTY) Ltd.
Under the terms of the contract, Altitec carried out EOW inspections on 54 turbines, each with a height of 91 meters. Inspection work began on the first turbine blades in December 2016, and was completed recently.
Anne Henschel, Managing Director of Nordex Energy South Africa said: “We know that turbine blades that are regularly inspected and maintained to a high standard remain cost-efficient. By partnering with Altitec to deliver MWS services, our clients can be assured that their turbines will perform at optimal levels for as long as possible, reducing costs and improving overall wind farm performance in the process.”
