Inspection and non-destructive testing for the wind energy sector

GV NDT was created in 2011 to supply qualified and trained labor to the wind power segment. Since then we have supported major wind turbine manufacturers in their facilities, storage areas and wind farms.

A wind turbine combines components with very different materials and processes: composite blades, cast hubs and mainframes, welded towers and extenders. Each requires the right inspection method, applied by people who understand the manufacturing process.

Our team has experience in blade and nacelle manufacturing and inspection and works across the entire asset life cycle, from production quality control to inspection with the turbine in operation.

How we support this industry

Wind blades

Ultrasonic testing of bond lines and structural laminates plus internal and external visual inspection, at the plant, on the ground and up-tower.

Hub and mainframe
