Production monitoring for wind energy projects

Quality right from the start — with independent production support from 8.2

The quality of the manufactured components determines the technical reliability and economic efficiency of wind turbines. Particularly for major projects, new turbine types or offshore projects, complete production monitoring is crucial to avoid subsequent damage, delays and warranty disputes.

8.2 accompanies manufacturers, investors and project managers through the entire manufacturing process — from quality control of individual components to series production of a new generation of wind turbines.

An overview of our services

Vendor audits

• Audits at international suppliers (e.g. casting, electrical engineering, main components)
• First Article Inspections (FAI) for quality assurance before series production starts

Pre-series production

• Technical evaluation of manufacturing documents (design review)
• Analysis and optimization of production processes
• Identification of potential design weaknesses

Series production & final assembly

• Quality assurance when individual components are delivered to the production hall
• Mechanical inspection of rotor blades, towers, generators, hubs and the entire back-end in the production hall
• Continuous on-site presence with finding lists and test reports
• Final walkdowns of each plant after final assembly before transportation to the offshore wind farm or onshore construction site
