Wind Turbine Bolted Connections Course

Wind Turbine Bolted Connections Course

HTL are pleased to announce that they are the very first Provider to offer an ECITB approved MJI31 & MJI32 Bolted Connections Course for the Wind Energy Sector.

With training available at our dedicated training facility in Cramlington, the ECITB MJI31 & MJI32 Wind Turbine Bolted Connections Course is globally recognised & is desirable for anyone currently or aspiring to have a career in the Wind Energy sector.

To complement the course, HTL Training Services are also able to provide ECITB approved Technical Competence Validation Tests, TMJI31 & TMJI32.

The Importance of Training

With wind farms being erected rapidly, both onshore and offshore, failures are emerging, and after initial investigations, some of the issues were due to incorrect bolting procedures.

There are numerous bolted connections on turbines:

  • Foundation Bolting
  • Tower Bolting
  • Nacelle Frame Bolts
  • Nacelle Yaw Bearing Bolts
  • Front Main Bearing Bolts
  • Blade to Bearing Bolts
  • Main Shaft to Hub Bolts
  • Rear Main Bearing Bolts

With a vast amount of bolted connections, it is critical to have the correct bolt pre-load to maintain joint integrity. The aim of the MJI31 & MJI32 Hydraulically Torqued & Tensioned Wind Turbine Bolted Connections Course is to gain a greater understanding of the skilled performance expected of persons using hydraulic torque and tensioning equipment on wind turbine bolted connections. With a clear focus on the five main areas of bolting on a wind turbine:

  • Dismantle
  • Inspect
  • Prepare
  • Assemble
  • Tighten

By 2020 the UK’s target is to achieve 15% of final energy consumption from renewable sources and with Wind Power being currently the second most significant source of renewable energy in the UK it is projected to continue to grow immensely over the next few years.

It was with this in mind that HTL have become the very first Provider to offer the ECITB Approved MJI31 & MJI32 Hydraulically Torqued & Tensioned Wind Turbine Bolted Connections Course, solely for the Wind Energy Sector.

This course is desirable to all who currently or are seeking to have a career within the Wind Energy Sector. For more info, visit http://tinyurl.com/jozd8fs or call +44 (0)1670 700 005.
