©ATOMS technology has been devised to overcome the current O&M difficulties involved in marine wind energy, while offering a low-cost, scalable solution for major maintenance of both fixed and floating marine wind turbines.

©ATOMS enables a firm work platform to be coupled to the tower, from where commercial crane models can be installed and used coupled the turbine, with proven effectiveness when it comes to maintenance of the turbine. It is set to be the first system ever to allow major maintenance operations to be performed on fixed-based wind turbines with no need for large vessels, thereby cutting the costs involved. It will also be the first solution to enable major maintenance to be performed on floating wind turbines, which is a significant demand being made by the sector that is yet to be resolved.

©ATOMS is based on a coupling-ring system that has already been proven for a much more demanding application: the installation of ELISA GBS units.
