DMT provides a range of flexible solutions to enhance the efficiency, life span and safety of wind farms, all from one single source!
DMT is, among other things, a provider of systems for technical engineering services and measurement and control technology for industrial plants. We have extensive know-how in the development, and manufacture of measuring systems for monitoring the condition of rotary drive elements in various industries, including a proven system for wind turbine monitoring applications which is marketed under the name WindSafe®. Our diagnostic experts also offer an individual monitoring and reporting service.
Furthermore, the sensor our experts designed for measuring tower vibrations is currently installed in thousands of wind turbines around the world. In addition, a range of testing and safety related services round off DMT's spectrum for wind farm operators, ensuring your business is in safe hands.
DMT has decades of experience in engineering. As a member of TÜV NORD GROUP, Germany's leading technology service provider, we are known today around the world for innovative solutions and individualised consulting and support tailored specifically to the needs of our clients. The TÜV NORD brand stands for the highest level of quality and safety. We are also manufacturer-independent and have our own test centres and expert bodies.
Our strengths:
Your benefits:
Repairs, replacement parts and plant downtimes are expensive. With the right condition monitoring you can avoid unnecessary costs and save money - often several hundred thousand Euros!
DMT has more than 25 years of experience in this field and to date our condition monitoring systems have been used to record data from over 15,000 dynamic measuring points in various industries.
With our comprehensive drive technology know-how, we have developed a perfectly coordinated online CM system especially for the wind energy sector, based on structure-borne noise for early damage detection in the drive train of wind turbines.
With accurate, reliable data we can detect emerging damage and potential issues before they become problematic and in most cases diagnose the exact cause. This enables our experts to give clear recommendations for action, saving you valuable time and money.
Characteristics monitored by structure-borne sound include
This online system offers remote monitoring of individual wind turbines and whole wind farms in scalable service levels and can also be integrated into existing control systems.

DMT offers various sensors for the continuous detection of vibrations of wind turbine towers during operation. Specially developed for this purpose and stringently tested by our monitoring experts, these sensors are compact, inexpensive and easy to install. More than 6,000 of our KS22 sensors have already been sold worldwide.
Relevant fluctuation changes of the tower as well as inadmissible operating conditions can be detected at an early stage. This is an important contribution to increasing plant and site safety. Precise information about the actual vibrations that occur on site also provides a good basis for operational optimisation of individual wind turbines and entire wind farms. The measurement data also plays a role in designing and calculating new towers more efficiently.
The new cost-effective VIB3D sensor from DMT is suitable for measurement campaigns, e.g. as part of risk assessments, end-of-warranty inspections, commissioning or after renovation measures. This IoT vibration sensor works autonomously and installation is simple, supported by automatic levelling. The visualisation of the measurement and evaluation readings can be customised on request.

From foundation right through to further operation - Our individual services and professional advice help you make the right decisions at the right time to get the best out of your windpark.
Geotechnics is a focal point of the DMT group's portfolio.
We offer comprehensive geotechnical services within the design, construction and installation phases of wind turbines according to international standards. This includes, among other things, the inspection of:
All of our assessments are concluded in a certification or conformity report.
Our building specialists are also on hand to monitor the foundation work during the installation phase.
Have you considered the fire protection of your wind turbines?
For decades, the DMT Centre for Fire and Explosion Protection has been developing comprehensive safety concepts for all kinds of industrial buildings that serve to implement relevant fire protection guidelines cost-effectively, efficiently and according to individual needs.
Right from the planning and construction phase of your wind turbine, it pays to consider necessary fire protection equipment and regulations. We can advise you on that. Our fire protection experts will also ensure that all fire safety technology is properly installed and approved. In addition, we can check the operational safety of your fire protection equipment at any time:
For all enquiries related to fire protection, please contact our specialist department:

On our test rigs, we are able to test the drive characteristics of a wide variety of mechanical and hydraulic components for industrial manufacturers and plant operators. Our main focus in this area is the testing of gears and gearboxes. For example, we carry out tests on transmission prototypes and end-of-line tests for series gearboxes. We not only test components of the wind turbines - DMT was also contracted by Siemens to perform functional and life time tests on jack-up gears for the world’s largest crane vessel, used for the installation of new offshore wind farms.
DMT also offers professional metrological consulting and further services in this field, including the application of strain gages for measuring mechanical stresses in structures and components.
Our engineers are happy to support the manufacturers of wind turbines and their components as well as transmission service companies with the following:

DMT is a memebr of TÜV NORD GROUP and works closely with our sister company TÜV NORD EnSys to provide a full range of services withing the field of wind energy.
TÜV NORD is one of the world's largest and most renowned technical service providers. More than 30 years of experience have made TÜV NORD a leading certification body for onshore and offshore wind turbines. TÜV NORD assesses and certifies every phase of your project from basic design and site specific design evaluation, through manufacturing surveillance to installation and commissioning surveillance. Accreditation covers all international certification bodies such as IEC, DNV, GL, Danish Type Certification and TAPS.
TÜV NORD EnSys has extensive expertise and many years of national and international experience in site assessment.
In addition to technical inspections of wind turbines, TÜV NORD accompanies your wind farm from planning and approval through to operation and continued operation beyond the projected service life and, as a competent partner, is there to assist you quickly and reliably with comprehensive services from a single source. Within the scope of a due diligence from within the TÜV NORD network, we are happy to offer you the technical, financial and legal evaluation of your project.
What is the potential of your location and is your wind turbine suitable for the conditions on site? TÜV NORD is also the right partner for this question. Site conditions can have a great influence on the economic efficiency and safety of wind turbines. Therefore we investigate all relevant conditions (e.g. effective turbulence, oblique flow, air density) within the wind farm area.
The following services are offered by TÜV NORD:
