MONITORING & REPAIR

Wind Turbine Foundation Life Extension & Asset Protection

GCE supports wind asset owners, operators and developers with foundation waterproofing, condition assessment and specialist remedial works. Our capabilities include foundation inspection and monitoring, crack injection, void filling, concrete repair, sealing and waterproofing.

FOUNDATION WATERPROOFING & SEALING

Effective waterproofing protects wind turbine foundations against water ingress and environmental exposure, supporting long-term structural integrity. GCE delivers sealing and waterproofing solutions for both new-build and operational foundations, including the renewal of existing protection systems.

Our services include:

  • Foundation condition inspections and surface preparation

  • Selection and application of appropriate waterproofing systems

  • Sealing of critical foundation interfaces

  • Climatic-condition checks and pull-off testing where required

  • Quality assurance and completion documentation


Where existing defects are identified, waterproofing can be coordinated with associated remedial works.

FOUNDATION MONITORING & REPAIR

Cracking, grout deterioration, water ingress and other foundation defects can affect asset performance and require specialist assessment and remediation.

GCE supports clients in identifying foundation issues, understanding their implications and developing practical repair solutions suited to the condition of the asset.

Our capabilities include:

  • Foundation inspections and condition assessments

  • Foundation health monitoring

  • Crack injection and concrete repair

  • Grout repairs and void filling

  • Localised remedial works

  • Specialist repair material installation


Repair requirements are assessed individually, taking account of foundation condition, available technical information, site constraints and operational requirements.
