Our mission is to support the leading turbine and blade manufacturers, wind farm owners and material suppliers, in their composite operations. We assist clients with product development, assessment and introduction of new materials, processes and design technologies and root cause analysis. Our team also has extensive knowledge in the tidal, wave and solar sectors. This enables us to deliver an all encompassing renewables offering. Our work is directly linked to the Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) delivered by our clients.
For over a decade we have consulted with the world’s leading turbine and blade manufacturers as well as windfarm owners and operators. Our service is scalable and versatile allowing us to work independently or alongside operations, new product development, research and technology, procurement or operations and maintenance teams. STRUCTeam’s extensive knowledge of applying advanced composites materials to structures gives us a broad depth of expertise and strategic insight to support our client’s businesses.
Just as composite technologies have played a vital role in the wind sector, advanced materials are also proving instrumental in the tidal, wave and solar industries. Often green-field industries and renewables manufacturers in this progressive sector turn to STRUCTeam for end to end support to help build their operations from the ground up.
Our key achievements since 2010 in the renewables energy sector include:
- Supporting research programmes for the industry leaders focused on the adoption of new materials, processes and design solutions.
- Delivery of turn-key blade, certified designs to client requirements in accordance to DNV GL guidelines.
- Supporting blade product development programmes in Europe, North America and Asia, covering the technical, business case and supply chain aspects.
- Root cause analysis, corrective actions and long-term solutions for quality issues.
- IP development for pultruded materials, design integration, blade manufacture and supply chain support.
- Lead or assist material qualification programs.
- Skills training and knowledge transfer.
- Expert witness.
- Procurement support or contracting.
