Workshop repairs Sometimes, failures require workshop repair. In such cases, we will dismantle and transport your gearbox for an industry-leading workshop repair. Your gearbox will be in the very best hands and repaired with quality spare parts. Example: repair of micro pitting and surface scratches Options included as repair method: • Superfinishing • Bearing re-conditioning • Regrinding • Thermal spraying Can be used to : • Remove superficial scratching • Smoothen light micro-pitting • Replace hand polishing of gears • Lower roughness for better performance of gear set Repair loops and exchange We have established global gearbox repair loops to keep delivery times and costs to a minimum. Your defective gearbox will be integrated into our global repair loop for future use in order to keep costs down. In return, you receive a state-of-the-art, repaired gearbox. Once you have received your replacement gearbox, you will be invoiced for the repair of the damaged gearbox. The global gearbox repair loop limits the requirement for a crane and a service-team to one site visit only, reducing related service costs by 50 percent. We stock over 500 top-quality replacement gearboxes at strategic locations throughout the world, enabling us to deliver replacement gearboxes as quickly as possible. Case study "A customer of ours is a major utility in the Western United States. It reported a Gearbox/Mainshaft replacement issue on a competing turbine brand. Vestas has a low scope maintenance contract for the multibrand site, excluding all main components, but the contractually obligated partner was not able to perform the exchange on time. Our Senior Manager, Josh Rauterkus, and his site team took over and were able to quickly mobilize their crew and perform a gearbox exchange the following day. They followed up with a second tower shortly after. Our team leveraged its expansive assets to complete these repairs. Among them were our tools department and technician base. Our tool department is intimately familiar with the tooling required to execute a wide range of repairs and can respond within an extremely short timeframe. In this case, overnight. Additionally, our more than 10,000 service technicians globally (both site and resource, multibrand and Vestas) and technical support representatives give us the resources to resolve any issue as it may arise.” Merritt Pearson Program Manager, Major Maintenance, Vestas
