Bently Nevada
With the increasing demand for clean energy, the wind sector continues to grow; and so do the challenges associated with achieving lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Unplanned downtime and repairs can be the difference between a profitable or unprofitable wind farm. Wind farm owners and operators must find ways to operate smarter and maintain profitability by controlling their operating and maintenance costs. Condition monitoring systems (CMS) provide insights into early fault detection that enable issues to be addressed at the right time and for the lowest cost.
Bently Nevada’s CMS and System 1 Wind software reduce operations and maintenance
costs by proactively detecting impending drivetrain issues. From sensors and monitors to software and services, our comprehensive offering enables you to intelligently monitor wind farm assets, increase availability and decrease maintenance costs. Our condition monitoring solutions and services are integral components of a condition based maintenance (CBM) methodology and are applicable across all onshore, offshore, gearbox and direct-drive wind turbines.
Bently Nevada’s wind turbine condition monitoring experts understand wind turbine drivetrains and will provide insights to help you control your operating and maintenance budget. We’ll work with you to understand your instrumentation needs, configure and commission your systems and provide the monitoring services necessary to maximize the profitability of your wind turbines.

Windrush LLC
WINDRUSH LLC was established in order to market bolt and nut cleaning tools to the wind turbine industry. As is known in the industry it is very important to have clean threads when connecting a bolt and a nut to fasten any type of equipment together.
One of the most critical areas in THE WIND TURBINE industry is the foundation anchor bolts, which holds the tower to the foundation. In most wind turbine applications this consists of approximately 160 – 1 3/8” bolts. In new construction applications having a clean nut, bolt and mating surface will insure proper makeup and tension. In existing applications the need to clean the nuts, bolts and the base is necessary in order to either re-tension and/or to coat them with a non-corrosive coating.
The most time efficient and effective way to clean the anchor bolts is with the Shipman anchor bolt cleaning tools. 
The set consists of 3 tools, one tool to clean the bolt, one tool to clean the nut and another tool to clean the top of the nut and the base of the tower. This is accomplished by using a slow speed half-inch electric drill.
Estimated time to clean one bolt would be approximately 3 minutes or less depending on the condition of the fastener and the amount of rust present. On a tower with 160 bolts at 3 minutes per bolt the time to clean all of the bolts on the tower would be approximately 8 hours. Using a two or three person crew and working in succession can cut this time. Even at the 3 minutes per bolt a crew could clean the entire tower in an 8-hour period. This is far less time than the amount of time needed to clean by hand with a hand held wire brush or other methods and with much better results.
