Get What You Deserve in Your Warranty Settlement
Your warranty period is coming to an end on your turbines—and negotiations with your manufacturer are about to begin. From designing an inspection plan and choosing an inspection provider, analyzing the inspection data, reviewing your warranty, and developing an optimal negotiation strategy, we’re here to help. We use our knowledge and experience so that you have a clear understanding of which defects are critical—and which are smaller points you can use as bargaining chips in your negotiations.
We understand how wind turbines are designed, analyzed, and certified. We’re also well-versed in the conditions that wind turbines operate in and the maintenance issues that impact their lifespan and maintenance needs. Company President, Rob Budny, spent eight years as mechanical engineering manager at a large wind turbine manufacturer and has been working in the rotating equipment industry for over 20 years.

Negotiate
From being on-call to answer questions as they come up to participating as a more formal player in the back-and-forth, our sole goal is to help you get the fixes you need.

We are intimately familiar with the concerns, motivations and constraints on each side, and use that knowledge to help you reach the most favorable settlement possible.
