Work Detail |
InterBolt has secured a contract to deploy its technology on a offshore wind farm in the UK. The bolting system will be used to monitor blade connections on a fleet of Siemens G4 turbines (SWT-3.6-107/120).
The InterBolt provides real-time bolt load measurements to technicians during installation and long-term monitoring. It features a high-accuracy bolt load sensor (97% accuracy), long-range wireless communications (up to 1 km), LED indicators, and a 15-year battery solution. Once the rollout is complete, the technology will eliminate the need for periodic manual inspection of the blade connections and help predict and prevent the risk of a blade stud breaking. |
