SCOPE

In summer 2024, we performed gearbox inspections across 28 Vestas wind turbines in southern Sweden as part of an end-of-warranty campaign.

Challenge

Using borescope techniques, our technicians carried out internal inspections of gearbox components, assessing:

  • gear teeth for pitting, micro-pitting, scuffing, and spalling
  • bearings for wear, brinelling, and flaking
  • planetary gear stages for cracks and debris, debris accumulation, and abnormal wear patterns
  • shafts and couplings for fatigue and corrosion

Solution

All findings were documented using high-resolution imaging and detailed reports to support the customer’s maintenance strategy and warranty negotiations.

Results

This project reflects Ventum’s capability to deliver precise, high-value inspection services that protect turbine health and long-term performance.
