Gearbox failure represents one of the most significant risks that wind asset owners face due to the extremely high repair costs. When factoring in lost revenues, crane costs, replacement costs and labor, repairs typically average $500-650,000 per event.  Therefore owners must utilize whatever tools are available to help manage long term gearbox reliability.

Although many of the root causes of failure remain uncontrollable, it is a proven fact that managing oil cleanliness is a vital step in ensuring the long term health of gearboxes.  Poor oil quality leads to many problems including gear and bearing pitting, as well as early wear and failure of components.  A simple solution is to consistently monitor oil condition and then execute oil exchanges at the right time.

Moreover, it’s critical that experienced technicians, utilizing proper equipment and procedures, are deployed when performing these oil exchanges.  Turn Energy Maintenance uses proven procedures and state of the art equipment to ensure that we’re able to execute the cleanest, safest and most environmentally friendly oil exchanges in the market.
