Services
On-Shore and Off-Shore Services
To ensure maximum return from your asset throughout the installation and O&M phase, Barton Industrial Services Ltd provides a comprehensive range of services and maintenance packages for all makes and models of wind turbine both during and after the manufacturer’s warranty period.
Barton 'Inspect'
Barton has invested heavily in developing a tailor made advanced inspection software package and a RFID tagging solution to ensure that it delivers even more professional, reliable, prompt and thorough services to its wind energy clients.
Technical Team
Our team of long-serving qualified and highly skilled technicians sustain and enhance their skills levels via a comprehensive development and training programme.
Solutions
Service Lifts
Until relatively recently, lifts have not been the default method of access used in the industry. However, the impact of recent Health & Safety legislation combined with developing industry expectations about how to best manage working at height have necessitated duty holders to consciously consider the practicalities of lift installation.
Lifting Equipment
Our expertise is backed up by Barton’s wider 30-year success story in the supply, design, manufacture, maintenance and inspection of lifting gear across all industries, ranging from aerospace, pharmaceutical, heavy manufacturing to oil and gas.
Ladders and Accessories
Barton technicians work with your specific tower configuration to establish a safe and cost efficient installation solution including the supply of new ladders and a review on installation procedures.
PPE Equipment
Our expertise is backed up by Barton’s wider almost 30-year success story in the supply, maintenance and inspection of PPE and rescue equipment for working at height and in confined environments across all industries, ranging from wind energy, construction, aerospace, pharmaceutical, heavy manufacturing to oil and gas.
Fall Protection Systems
Whether on-shore or off-shore, Barton install, test, repair, inspect and service high performance, durable fall protection systems for use during construction, operations and maintenance right through to the decommissioning of wind turbines.
Rescue & Climbing Solutions
At times, it might not be possible to install a lift in a wind turbine because of its design, its age or its small height. In this case, the solution is to install a climb assist device. It can be easily retrofitted to ladders in any type of wind turbines.
Fire & Ancillary Equipment
Fires in wind turbines may have catastrophic consequences for the environment and the workers in the turbine; they may also lead to economic losses for wind farms developers and owners.
Accumulators
All Barton’s technicians have been extensively trained to carry out the examination and testing of accumulators in accordance with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, BS EN 1968 2002, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 and Manufacturers Guidelines.
Off-Shore Access Solutions
Clients, such as Eon, Dong and Statoil, have entrusted Barton with the installation, modification, repair and maintenance of ManSafe® Sealed Self Retracting Lifeline systems at various off-shore wind farms (Barrow, Sherringham Shoal and Robin Rigg).
Rope Access Solutions
When other access methods such as cradles, scaffolding and cherry pickers prove unsuitable, dangerous, and/or costly, our IRATA qualified technicians can gain access easily, safely and in a cost effective manner to inaccessible parts of a wind turbine.
