Deutsche WindGuard has completed the latest inspection of the 80 turbines at the 400MW Global Tech 1 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The contracted scope of services at the wind farm, located 180km north-west of Bremerhaven, comprised the inspection of tower and nacelle in accordance with the Standard Design of the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH).
“We are pleased that Global Tech 1 Offshore Wind GmbH counts on our expertise and has commissioned us with the inspection of the technical condition and safety equipment,” said Jan Wallasch, managing director of Deutsche WindGuard Inspection.
The team was stationed on board of the REM Inspector service vessel at the wind farm for four weeks in June.
“The working environment in the offshore wind farm is very dynamic because of sudden weather changes, among other things, we are pleased that with Deutsche WindGuard we have an inspection body that combines high quality of work and expertise with an agile and pragmatic way of working,” said Frederik Modes, head of operations and maintenance wind turbines at Global Tech 1 Offshore Wind.
The wind farm features 80 Adwen AD 5-116 turbines.
