Both the onshore and offshore wind energy sectors are subject to a significant amount of statutory regulation and safety certification. BGB Group can deliver a comprehensive QHSE service, including taking the QHSE lead on your project.
Our inspections will ensure that quality standards are met, both for statutory compliance and your own peace of mind.
We can provide certified quality inspections and walkdowns at all stages of the project, from pre-assembly, T&I, construction and handover to end of warranty assessments. We can also ensure that you comply with all regulations regarding turbine mounted safety equipment (TMSE).
Our own health, safety and environmental management system is fully aligned and audited to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001. We set our standards incredibly high, and we are proud to have had this recognised by SIPP, Construction Line Gold, RISQS, Achilles and Scaffold Association Audited Membership.
Blade services
Timely blade inspection and maintenance is essential to identify and correct problems as early as possible before they become more widespread, more costly and more damaging to your WTG operations.

This proactive service ensures that painted and coated surfaces are maintained to the highest standards, with timely identification and repairs preventing damage and corrosion that would require more extensive and expensive repairs.
You can trust our painting and coating team to deliver even in areas of restricted access. Our scaffolding and rope access experience means we can provide painting and coating inspection and repair services in the most inaccessible areas, including ventilated and certified confined space entry for tanks and voids.
Corrosion inspection and repair
Corrosion is an issue for both offshore and onshore windfarms, due to their exposed locations that are open to the elements. Prompt identification and repair of corrosion as early as possible prevents problems from developing over time and creating operational and safety issues for WTGs.
BGB Group uses its extensive access experience, including IRATA rope access solutions, to achieve prompt corrosion inspections and repairs in all areas of your installation.
