Context and positioning
The energy sector — onshore/offshore wind, hydropower, thermal, solar — is a prime application field for HFMI on critical welds. 20–25-year service life, harsh environments (corrosion, fatigue), large structures: everything calls for industrial fatigue improvement of welded joints.
Kronos operates in the workshop (OEM sites for towers, jackets, boilers) and at sea for offshore wind maintenance — GWO-certified technicians, IP67 sealed equipment.
Typical operations
Longitudinal and circumferential welds on S355-S460 steels. IIW 2016, DNV-GL.
K-joints, T-joints, cruciforms. Fatigue-corrosion environment.
Blades, distributors — cavitation-fatigue resistance improvement.
Offshore intervention after crack detection — repair + compensating HFMI.
OEM standards and specifications
Why Kronos in this sector
Multi-technology HFMI. We operate PIT, UIT and HiFIT as needed — no lock-in to a proprietary technology.
GWO certified. Our offshore technicians hold GWO Basic Safety Training and Sea Survival certifications, mandatory for at-sea intervention.
Offshore-ready equipment. IP67 HFMI cases, validated for the marine environment.
