TÜV Rheinland: Additional Offshore Inspections for Siemens Gamesa
“Thanks to the multiple authorizations of our offshore inspectors, we were able to offer Siemens Gamesa a package solution for service lifts and crane inspections,” explains Lars-Christian Mitzka, Team Leader Offshore Wind at TÜV Rheinland. “With our multi-authorized inspectors, we offer customers a number of benefits. For example, it makes the inspections less expensive, as fewer offshore personnel are needed.”
Expanding offshore business
There are currently more than 1,500 offshore wind turbines in the North Sea and Baltic Sea, and the number is rising. TÜV Rheinland has already inspected service lifts at the “Borkum” and “GlobalTech1” wind farms on behalf of Siemens Gamesa in 2021. Next year, the testing service provider will again significantly expand its testing activities through the framework agreement. “TÜV Rheinland will further expand its existing offshore business. As a service provider, we adapt to the needs of our customers and look forward to further cooperation with Siemens Gamesa,” emphasizes Dr. Sebastian Rothe, Head of the Wind Energy Business Field for Germany at TÜV Rheinland. In addition to the cooperation in the offshore sector, TÜV Rheinland also supports Siemens Gamesa in numerous onshore projects.
