Expertise at Every Height

Since 2007, P&S Service GmbH has been your reliable partner for technical services related to wind turbines — backed by experience, expertise, and a clear commitment to quality.

Inspections in Accordance with UVV Regulations

We ensure that the safety-related installations and components of your wind turbines comply with all legal and technical safety requirements. This minimizes safety risks and reduces downtime. Our service technicians are certified according to various manufacturer specifications. Following each inspection, we provide you with comprehensive documentation.

The safety-related installations and components are inspected annually in accordance with applicable UVV regulations and manufacturer specifications:

Personal anchor points (PAP) within the wind turbine areas including tower, nacelle, drivetrain, and rotor hub must be inspected on a regular basis. Following commissioning of the wind turbine, PAP inspections are required every twelve months. Additional inspections are also mandatory after extraordinary events or damage incidents.

Legal and technical safety regulations require annual inspections of winches and fall arrest devices. In addition to inspections, our trained service technicians can replace minor wear parts directly at the wind farm site (certified for Tractel Greifzug and DualLift systems).

If maintenance or repairs are required, these can be carried out in our workshop equipped with a dedicated test tower (certified for Tractel Greifzug and DualLift systems). Major overhauls are exclusively performed by the respective manufacturers. To minimize waiting times during manufacturer servicing, we also provide an exchange pool for winches and fall arrest devices (so-called exchange rotation system).

Maintenance

Regular maintenance in accordance with applicable standards helps prevent faults and downtime of your wind turbines. Our experienced maintenance technicians possess extensive expertise specific to various turbine types.

Maintenance services include, among other things, bolted flange connections, nacelle components, rotor systems, gearboxes, and turbine control systems. Transformer maintenance and generator alignment are also integral parts of our maintenance portfolio.

Repair Services

If repairs or optimization measures are identified during a technical safety inspection, we promptly prepare a corresponding service proposal. Minor defects are rectified directly on-site by our teams, helping you avoid unnecessary downtime. In addition, we also handle further repair requests for your wind turbines.

Thanks to our close cooperation with manufacturers and suppliers, we are able to provide fast response times even for more complex repair measures. All repair work is carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with current manufacturer specifications.

Installation

We are happy to support you with the installation of internal safety-related equipment in your wind turbines.

This may include service lifts, ladder systems, climbing protection systems, or load handling equipment.

Tower Services

We have combined a wide range of additional services under the term “Tower Services.” These include support during ZÜS inspections as well as commissioning services and tower cleaning. Tower services begin during the commissioning phase of a wind turbine. We support initial acceptance inspections in order to identify and eliminate safety-related deficiencies at an early stage.

In addition, we provide comprehensive support regarding ZÜS inspections and service lift testing. We organize annual ZÜS inspection appointments and accompany the certified inspector on-site. In the event of operating fluid leaks, such as engine or gearbox oil, rapid and effective action together with root cause analysis is essential. Therefore, interior and exterior tower cleaning is also part of our service portfolio.

Modifications According to Manufacturer Specifications

Throughout the lifecycle of a wind turbine, various technical issues may arise that can jeopardize the safe and reliable availability of the turbine. In cooperation with our clients, we support the implementation of safety-related modifications. Following project-specific training, our flexible and highly qualified service technicians can be deployed quickly and efficiently to help ensure high turbine availability.

Processing of Inspection Reports

As part of an inspection carried out by a certified expert, the current condition of your wind turbine is documented. Based on this assessment, a catalog of required corrective measures is prepared to address the identified deficiencies. All corrective work is performed by qualified personnel in accordance with applicable manufacturer specifications. Upon completion, we provide comprehensive before-and-after documentation.

Innovations

In addition to the aforementioned services, we also develop and implement innovations and optimization measures for improved safety in and around wind turbines — either together with our clients, on behalf of our clients, or through our own initiatives.

One of our innovations is rung protection systems for ladders in wind turbines. These protection systems help prevent damage to the ladder rungs of climbing systems.

Climbing ladders in lattice tower systems, particularly those equipped with ladder-guided access systems, are permanently exposed to damage caused by the hanging steel cables of the access equipment. Due to the intentionally selected installation locations in high-wind regions, strong winds frequently cause the steel cables to strike the ladder rungs over a large area. These impacts lead to damage requiring regular and costly replacement of ladder elements, as safe footing can no longer be guaranteed.

To ensure long-term climbing safety and reduce the increasing replacement of ladder components, we developed a dedicated rung protection system. In addition, the wear life of the ladder rungs is significantly reduced without such protection. If the rung protection itself becomes damaged, it can easily be replaced individually, which is considerably more cost-effective than replacing entire ladder elements.

After installation of the rung protection system, no impairment of climbing safety is to be expected.
