Technologies:

DED-LB

Scope

The objective of the project is to extend the lifetime of wind turbines by improving decision-making and applying technologies that reduce costs and avoid replacing components when they still have usable value.

Solution

LORTEK’s value proposition is to combine expertise in materials, laser processes, and advanced inspection to develop and validate technologies that enable the repair, upgrading, and certification of critical components. This reduces technical risk and facilitates industrial implementation.
