Safety
Management

Safety is about people, and we are committed to their welfare. ABS Consulting has been leading the way for safety in the workplace for decades by providing training, certifying for safety compliance of wind turbine equipment, developing and managing health, safety and environmental (HSE) protocols for on- and offshore wind and renewable energy projects.

Risk
Management

ABS Consulting provides dependable risk analysis throughout a project life cycle that enables owners and manufacturers to optimize their assets. Defining what and how structural, mechanical or financial damages are caused to wind turbine and renewable energy assets are only the beginnings of ways we help you minimize risk.

Integrity
Management

As an independent body, ABS Consulting provides due diligence on projects. Having an authoritative evaluation of the project's assumptions and definition of the design basis, and through continuous condition monitoring of equipment during manufacturing, transportation, installation and operation, we are unrivalled in the verification and quality assurance fronts.

Wind Energy Project life Cycle

(I) Conceptual Phase

Think, Envision, and Plan Your Wind Farm Project with Life Cycle Lens

When considering a new wind farm project, it's easy to focus too heavily on commercial and technical issues that can prove short-sighted. Without the proper feasibility, planning, and coordination, these issues can be more costly in the long project life cycle.

(II) Design Basis Phase

Establish Proper Risk Exposure of Wind Turbines and Project Certification

Establishing the wrong design basis could have a severe impact in both the financial projections as well as the credibility of your organization. You want an advisor who can provide authoritative, proven solutions who can not only strengthen your team and plan for the expected, but also who can help you optimize and see the unexpected to control that issue from propagating.

(III) Site-Specific Phase

On- and Offshore Wind Project Certification

As turbines are not customized for every site, making decisions about wind turbine manufacturers and sub-contractors can be a challenge - especially when there is very little information available. Characterizing the specific site conditions and applying this properly in the project in question can be a challenge as every step of the way you have to monitor the budget and say no to many proposals. With an independent, objective third-party engineering firm you can rest assured that you are headed in the right direction and that you are only paying for what is necessary to get an optimized design.

(IV) Manufacturing Phase

Due Diligence and Monitoring of Supply Chain

In a global wind energy economy, products and components are typically manufactured in one location and then shipped to their final destination. Specifying and monitoring the wind turbine supply chain is essential to securing high quality materials at competitive prices.

(V) Installation Phase

Construction and Safety Managers for Safe and Diligent Installation

Balancing safety, quality, logistics, compliance and local public relations can be a daunting task when safely installing a wind farm. As such, the drive to quickly generate revenue can conflict with proven safe management processes.

(VI) Commissioning Phase

Witness Testing for a Reliable Wind Farm Operation

Avoiding surprises during this phase is crucial for the long-term reliability and availability of your wind farm. Making sure a wind farm is ready to operate requires a commissioning plan that skillfully blends both technical know-how and real-world safety experience to make sure inspections and quality controls are being met.

(VII) In-Service Phase

Periodic Wind Turbine Inspections Deliver Maximum Availability and Performance

Turbine efficiency, reliability and availability can mean the difference between a good and bad wind energy investment that ultimately impacts your bottom line. Periodic wind energy monitoring and condition inspections throughout the In-Service life cycle phase can help you predict potential failures before they lead to more extensive damage to ancillary components.
