Harvest’s O&M offerings include trained technicians dispatched to customer wind farms to perform scheduled maintenance on all major makes and models of wind turbines.

These inspections include gearbox internal inspections using boroscopes, lubricant sampling and analysis, blade inspections, generator testing and inspection, vibration measurement, and visual walk-down inspections of the full turbine, tower and foundations. Harvest will document all inspection issues, provide warranty claim documentation, and manage corrective campaigns if requested by the owner or original equipment manufacturer.

Harvest is looking to expand its scope on customer sites by offering full service O&M for specific sites under a long-term contract
