Are you still routinely retightening bolts in wind turbines?

Wind turbines are constructed with thousands of structurally critical bolts that are periodically retightened. Annually wind operators spend ￡1 million per gigawatt of capacity on bolt tightening, the majority of which can be avoided.

At EchoBolt we believe there is a better way to manage the integrity of bolted joints in wind turbines. Our innovative inspection technologies can save over 80% of the cost associated with retightening bolts, providing a condition-based assessment of bolted joints rather than relying on time based interventions.

Currently, five gigawatts of wind capacity across Europe and North America are relying on EchoBolt to monitor joint integrity. The monitoring of bolted joints ensures that potential issues are addressed before they become major problems, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

If you are still routinely retightening bolts in wind turbines, it's time to consider a more efficient and cost-effective solution. EchoBolt is proven to save time and resources, and most importantly, it helps ensure the safety and reliability of wind turbine structures.
