EchoBolt has secured a contract with RWE Renewables to provide bolt integrity services for the Amrumbank West and Arkona offshore wind farms in Germany.

The agreement expands on an existing partnership between the companies, with EchoBolt already delivering multi-year inspection services at London Array and Rampion offshore wind farms in the UK.

Under the contract, EchoBolt will deploy advanced ultrasonic inspection techniques to assess the integrity of critical bolted connections on wind turbines. This condition-monitoring approach aims to reduce scheduled maintenance, minimize turbine downtime, and enhance operational efficiency.

"We are delighted to be growing our partnership with RWE and supporting their commitment to renewable energy," said Pete Andrews, Managing Director at EchoBolt. "Our expertise in bolt inspection and maintenance will help ensure the safe and efficient operation of these wind farms."

By leveraging innovative inspection solutions, EchoBolt continues to support the offshore wind industry in optimizing performance and reliability.
