8.2 Consulting Finds More Work at Meerwind

Germany’s 8.2 Consulting AG has won a three-year extension of a contract for periodic inspections at the 288MW Meerwind Süd | Ost offshore wind farm.

The contract extension follows the successful completion of the first periodic inspections at the wind farm last year.

The contract was extended by WindMW GmbH, the operator of Meerwind. The extension puts WindMW in line with recommendations of approving authority BSH.

This recommendation, which is expected to become mandatory soon, foresees inspections on 25% of all turbines each year in order to confirm operational safety.

“In 8.2 Consulting AG we have found a reliable partner for our project,” said Stefan Klett, General Manager of WindMW.

“We value their outstanding expertise and have built a constructive business-cooperation during the course of the project”.

8.2 Consulting has been involved with Meerwind since 2010, from the initial design review, over a contract to carry out preliminary technical due diligence at the wind farm, to the latest contract extension for periodic inspections.
