Oct. 13, 2008 - PRLog -- Wind turbine manufacturers, wind farm owners and utility companies often face risks in wind farm projects such as material damage, and lack of availability, which lead to financial losses.

As a result of their partnership, RSA and SGS are able to improve owners’ internal rate of return on investment via risk minisation, and adequate insurance cover with fair premiums for all wind farm projects, from the project planning stage through to the operations.

In the planning phase, SGS carries out site assessments and site specific design verification of wind turbines and foundations.

SGS is the reliable partner not only for the design of wind farms, but also for life the cycle of a wind farm.
