Our Approach

Scientia does not just inspect and implement repairs necessary to get the turbines operational again.  Our goal is to remanufactures the turbine to its original specifications.  With proper maintenance, these turbines should have an operational life of over 20 years before requiring another major overhaul.

Scientia’s principals’ intimate knowledge of the Windmatic turbines makes them uniquely qualified to refurbish these turbines.  With 23 years of operational and ownership experience, we know the turbine’s strengths and design attributes.    In the refurbishment process, the turbine is stripped down to its component parts. Gearboxes are completely rebuilt with new seals and bearing. Gears are inspected for wear and replaced if deemed necessary. Hydraulic pumps, brake calipers, and yaw systems are rebuilt. Main shaft bearings are dismantled and inspected for wear, replaced or cleaned and repacked with grease as necessary. Generators are rewound to the highest of specifications, undergoing a vacuum pressure resin impregnation. Rotors are dynamically balanced. After assembly, the drive train is tested for any gearbox or hydraulic leaks, the brake system and all sensors are tested.
