1. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Wind energy generating capacity installed, U.S.: 11,603 MW (end of 2006) Total installed U.S. wind capacity at year's end 2007 was 16,818 MW, or enough to serve the equivalent of over 4.5 million average U.S. households. That’s 1.5 million households more than just one year ago Wind energy generating capacity, worldwide: 74,223 MW (end of 2006, Global Wind Energy Council).

2. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Globally, over 20,000 MW of new wind capacity was added in 2007. Current installed capacity worldwide at the end of 2007 was over 94,000 MW • Denmark, Spain, and some regions of Germany now generate 10% to 25% of their electricity with wind power Over 5,200 megawatts of wind generation – enough to serve the equivalent of 1.5 million American households annually – was installed in the United States in 2007alone.

3. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines • Nearly 48 billion kWh of electricity will be generated by wind power in the U.S. in 2008 (based on AWEA estimates) • That is enough electricity for the equivalent of 4.5 million average American homes • A single new 1-MW turbine generates enough electricity for 250 to 300 homes

4. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines How is a wind Turbine farm built? IT IS BOLTED TOGETHER Lets take a look at the process and how Titan Technologies makes it all come together.

8. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Transportation of each tower section is not easy. Every precaution is taken to ensure the tube is not damaged during transport. The spreader jig is bolted on upon arrival at the erection pad and the tube is readied to be located on the concrete pad. This will become a work platform inside the tower; the ladder leads up to the top (the Nacelle and the Hub).

9. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines And we have LIFT-OFF. The two cranes work simultaneously to lower the base and raise the top of the tube over the concrete pad.

10. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Wind Tower Base 4300 MM The reinforced concrete foundation is usually an octagonal shape. In this case the top surface is 6300mm across. The tower base is 4300mm. Two sets of bolts hold the base section of the tower 160 each x M42 Bolts in total.

11. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Photo demonstrating the length of the studs that will be embedded in concrete . Once the Studs are lowered into the prepared site, the reinforced steel is formed around the studs and this anchors the stud frame into the concrete foundation which is around 100 cubic meters in area. Depth embedded in reinforced concrete Wind Tower Base

12. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Wind Tower Base Footings before concrete is poured. Approx 100 cubic meters of concrete is poured to support the wind tower . The studs are approximately 42mm x 2400mm. After the concrete is poured only 150 mm are exposed.

13. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Wind Tower Base The base section is lowered over the concrete pad using a 300T hydraulic boom crane. Some damage can occur to the studs because of narrow tolerances between stud diameter and hole diameter.

14. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Wind Tower Base 4 leading studs allow the base section to line up over the remaining 76 external studs. There are 80 internal and 80 external studs that hold the base section into place.

15. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Wind Tower Base Titan assisted in the tensioning of the base section studs with the use of Titan Foundation Bolt Tensioners. Field Training and hands-on assistance was provided during the installation of the first wind tower for this project located at Hallett in South Australia. In this case a set of 20 x Titan Foundation Bolt Tensioners were sold to Suzlon with a full set of high pressure hoses and a Hydraulic Tensioner Pump.

17. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines The second section is put into place and the bolts are torque using a Titan Model T5 Hydraulic Torque Wrench and 70mm Titan Impact Socket. Tower Bolting

18. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Hoisting Tools and materials from the Top section of the tower into the Nacelle is done manually – there is no winch in the Nacelle. Technicians have to hoist this tooling manually. Tools and Pump need to be relatively light and compact. Titan Hydraulic Wrenches have the best torque to ratio in the industry Tower Bolting

19. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines Tower Bolting Work space is very confined and generally two technicians are assigned to inspect and service each Wind Tower. Noise generated by the Hydraulic wrench or Tensioner pump must have relatively low dBA Titan EXE Hydraulic Wrench Pumps and EXE 2000TT Hydraulic Tensioner pumps run very quiet

27. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines The process of returning the piston for another stroke is instantaneous as the tool no longer has to reach a preset pressure to allow the flow & pressure sensors to work. There are no flow and pressure sensors which can fail and necessitate costly repairs and downtime on the job. Titan SmartTite ™ AUTOCYCLE Hydraulic Wrench & Pump System

28. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines The Titan SmartTite ™ features unique and multiple patent pending technologies. It uses a sensor within the Hydraulic Torque Wrench that determines when the tool is at the end of its stroke. The sensor is in communication with a processor with in the Hydraulic Torque Wrench Pump. When the tool is performing the tightening process, the sensor tells the pump when to retract the tool piston and make a successive stroke.

29. ™ Titan Technologies Superior Bolting Solutions ™ for Wind Turbines The operator simply depresses a button, the tool cycles until the nut is tightened to a predetermined torque and he goes on to the next nut and repeats the process. The result is faster tightening of the nuts resulting in time savings and integral joint make up with minimal skill level needed.
