Applus+ will inspect offshore wind towers for projects in Mexico and the United States

The project involves inspection during the manufacturing of high-quality and durable wind towers, essential for the generation of electrical power from renewable sources. Production will adhere to strict European standard ISO 9712, which poses a challenge in Mexico, a country where American standards had previously been followed.

Services provided by Applus+ include visual and dimensional inspections of welds for anomalies or deviations, as well as volumetric examinations using ultrasonic testing and surface examinations using liquid penetrants or magnetic particles on welds. Additionally, rigorous dimensional control of weldable elements is conducted.

A distinctive aspect of this project is the support provided by Applus+ in certifying personnel and developing appropriate procedures for production. A monthly production of 12 sections, equivalent to 4 towers, is anticipated, significantly contributing to renewable energy generation.

This project is part of the growing demand for renewable energy and highlights Applus+ commitment to promoting sustainable and efficient solutions for power generation worldwide. Collaboration between the company and the wind industry is crucial for advancing towards a more sustainable future, conscious of the importance of promoting clean and responsible energy sources.

The added value of Applus+ lies in its specialized personnel and reputation in the sector, providing clients and end-users with confidence that these wind turbines meet the most stringent standards of quality and safety.
