Services

All makes, all models, all types

With more than twenty years of experience of repairing, servicing and reconditioning industrial gearboxes from almost all sectors and manufacturers, we have a vast pool of technical knowledge and understanding to draw upon.

This expertise is augmented by the world-class technical resources available from Dana, who have unrivalled experience of both new product design and manufacture.

• Strong, proven team of application engineers working to the very highest professional standards
• Meticulous, systematic approach with all steps fully documented, costed and supported by photographic evidence
• Reverse engineering of parts where necessary
• All rebuilt units spin tested

Onshore and Offshore Wind Turbine Gearbox Support

We have the skills and experience to help customers in the renewables sector including both onshore wind operators and offshore turbines. With re-powering onshore sites becoming more and more common, we can undertake gearbox refurbishing to extend original design life at an existing location or when turbines are put into service at a new location.

• Main gearbox inspection and report (on-site boroscopic inspection and reporting combined with a VA report through a partner company)
• Main gearbox repair and rebuild, particularly for 100kW and 500kW main drive gearboxes
• Yaw and pitch slew gearbox repairs and replacements
• Yaw and pitch slew bearing replacements and upgrades

Hazardous and on site working

Our engineers are fully trained in both general safety matters (through courses such as Passport to Safety) and areas such as working with full arrest harnesses, lifting, and operating man lift equipment.

• Experience of hazardous environments
• Risk Assessment and Method Statements are routine
• Experience of supporting shut-down projects
• Experience of installation work, where we ensure correct alignment, lubrication and power transmission

Equipment Upgrades & Technical support

Frequently we provide the means to keep unique or obsolete equipment running – but repair is not always the best use of a customer’s resources, in which case we can:

• Provide evaluated drop-in replacement alternatives
• Provide technical support and guidance on operating practices and engineered upgrades
• Provide ancillary equipment solutions such as prime movers, couplings and sensors

Planned preventative gearbox maintenance

Total life cycle support including:

• Condition-based monitoring using vibration analysis, generally in conjunction with bore scopic surveys
• Asset management for many customers, who benefit from the information captured during inspections and refurbishments. This feeds into their maintenance planning
