For nearly a decade, Rotos 360 has developed its position as a global market leader in turn-key solutions for onshore and offshore wind-turbine blade inspection, preventive maintenance, and repair technology. Part of James Fisher and Sons plc, the company has recently completed a successful offshore internal blade repair campaign alongside partners, SGRE, at Westermost Rough Windfarm.
As part of the six-month project, completed on time and within budget, Rotos 360 provided the wind farm with a full turnkey solution, which included labor and vessel supply and full inspection and repairs as well as a follow-up analysis.
“Rotos 360’s professionalism was evident right the way through the project, from the conception and planning of the works, through the project execution and into the reporting and documentation,” said John Dykes, senior project manager at SGRE. “Their commitment to safety and quality was exemplary and was a key factor in the project reaching a successful outcome.”
Westermost Rough Wind Farm is an offshore wind farm about 10 kilometers northeast of Withernsea, off the Holderness coast in the North Sea. It has 35 wind turbines and covers an area of approximately 35 square kilometers.
Rotos 360 carried out 38 internal blade repairs. The project was led by Rotos 360’s Project Manager Simon Wood and a SGRE technical project manager with the repair works completed by the Rotos specialist complex blade teams.
“We would like to thank SGRE and the Orsted site team for its support over the last six months in delivering a safe project, on time and within budget,” said John Galliford, operations director at Rotos 360. “This project has further complemented our 100-percent safety track record with zero lost time incidents. Since 2013, we have grown consistently through our innovative, forward-thinking solutions to complex blade repairs, a multi-skilled workforce, and trusted reputation.”
