Frontier Pro Services, LLC, ("FPS), the California based O&M solutions
provider to the wind industry, today announced that it had acquired the
assets associated with Spin Trends, LLC ("Spin Trends").
The acquisition closed late November, 2011. Integration into the FPS
system has now been completed. In conjunction with the acquisition of the
assets, FPS is welcoming the industry’s most experienced wind turbine
inspectors, and the Spin Trends management team to the FPS family.
Spin Trends will operate as a division of FPS under the continued guidance
of its founder Darrin McCulloch. Paul Baker, FPS Director Business
Development offers: "I have worked closely with Darrin McCulloch for the
past 8 years. I was first impressed by the results he consistently produced,
my respect grew as I understood his commitment to his customers. He has
worked very hard, and with amazing focus, to build an incredible team. I
think we’re all excited."
Spin Trends is a Touchet, WA based business, which conducts complete
wind turbine EOW (End of Warranty) inspections across the United States,
Canada and Mexico, specializing in borescope and condition monitoring
(vibration) of wind turbines. Spin Trends has completed more than 6,000
inspections, on 28 turbine types, across North America since 2003.
Spin Trends’ expertise provides tremendous synergies with FPS’s wind
turbine service business.
FPS’s wind turbine service expertise includes a range of technology and
specialty services in the areas of large composite blade repair and
balancing, dynamic rotor balancing, contract O&M, as well as condition
monitoring through its fully owned subsidiary, Monitek, Inc.
Roger Brandt, Frontier Pro Services’ General Manager says that "Spin
Trends further adds to our strategy of offering technology based value
added services to the wind industry in addition to skilled labor. Having an
accurate picture of the assets’ condition is vital to the success of our
customers’ projects. The accuracy and comprehensive nature of the results
compliments the nature of our other offerings. Monitek’s proprietary
condition monitoring hardware, software, and analysts will benefit from the
knowledge base. FPS’ Dynamic Rotor Balance (patent pending) and Blade
Inspection complete the comprehensive offering."
