Constructing a steel pole transmission structure typically requires a series of welded assemblies. These include folding the pole shafts and […]

Exo has seen an alarming increase in defective welds and cracks in wind farm balance of plant and turbine structures. Learn how to avoid these risks through weld inspection.

The structural integrity of steel pole structures is only as good as their welded connections. Discover eight criteria that typically define the most common challenges in producing high-quality welds in steel transmission pole structures.

The real value of drone inspections is the ability to turn the gathered data into action. There are plenty of drone service providers, but most do not have the required structural expertise to provide a comprehensive view of an asset. That’s why accurate, experienced interpretation of the data is just as important as the technology for the overall quality of the inspection.

Safety is one of the top concerns for utility companies, as the consequences of an unanticipated structural failure on a transmission line can be severe. That’s why it’s important to partner with knowledgeable and experienced professionals for infrastructure inspections, repairs, and replacements.

When it comes to wind operations maintenance, more often than not the focus is directed towards the turbines themselves. Gearboxes, generators, rotors and control systems inside the turbine receive the most attention from O&M teams while the Balance of Plant (BOP) can sometimes be an afterthought.  This oversight can cause big problems.
