For onshore and offshore wind farm owners and operators, statutory inspections are a legal requirement – undertaken to ensure full compliance with HSE regulations like the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998.
The benefits of regular, well-planned and well-executed inspections extend well beyond regulatory compliance: If conducted properly, statutory inspections also present operators with a unique opportunity to head off emergent issues before they cause damage to critical infrastructure or necessitate unscheduled stoppages.
We understand the costs that an out of service wind turbine can cost operators per day and the expense that comes with repairing damaged equipment - so it makes sense to do everything in your power to mitigate potential problems early on and prevent unexpected downtime.
