James Fisher and Sons company Rotos 360 has completed a turbine repair at Vattenfall’s Parc Cynog wind farm in south Wales.
The project has been in operation for 18 years and features 11 Micon M1800-750/47 750KW machines.
Rotos 360 was contracted by Vattenfall to repair a wrinkle within an LM blade on one of the turbines.
Rotos 360 business development manager Sarah Lancaster said: “With our proven track record and trailblazing expertise we presented the client with a solution that would ultimately reduce cost and downtime of the wind turbine – something so integral because of the important role the wind farm plays to the Welsh economy.
“This also met with our overall aim as a business which is to use our experience to assist clients in meeting the levelised cost of energy.”
Vattenfall service lead Andrew Claridge said: “Whilst initially reviewing the damage we thought that the whole blade may have to be replaced.
“We were extremely impressed with Rotos 360’s inventive and reactive solution and its competency in delivery. With a focus on the community and its health and safety commitment we knew that they were the right partner for the job.”
