Challenge
R&D was building one of the world’s largest and most advanced turbine test benches at Lindø Offshore Renewables Center (LORC).
Designed for Highly Accelerated Life-cycle Testing (HALT) of wind turbine components up to 10 MW, the project required precision machining of an exceptionally large component measuring Ø6,500 × 2,000 mm and weighing 65 tonnes.
Nordmark’s role
Nordmark was responsible for precision machining a 65-tonne component measuring Ø6,500 × 2,000 mm for R&D Test Systems.
The project required specialised large-scale machining capacity and experience in handling heavy, complex components. Nordmark’s contribution supported the construction of the HALT test bench at Lindø Offshore Renewables Center.
Facts and figures
Customer value
The machined component formed part of a test facility designed to help wind turbine manufacturers test component performance and life cycles faster and more effectively. Nordmark’s ability to machine large and complex components supported R&D in delivering advanced testing infrastructure for the wind energy industry.
