Maintenance free connection systems to replace bolted flange connections on wind turbines

Thanks for your reply.

I would be really interested in this report. It seems a strange investment of £120k by the taxpayer if the results cannot be shared. Can you check up on situation for me? I have emailed GMC Ltd with no reply.

[I am trying to find out more about a project shown below which I found listed in your Gateway to Research (GtR) website.

Maintenance free connection systems to replace bolted flange connections on wind turbines

Lead Participant: GMC Ltd

Total Grant: £120,307

Project Manager: Phil Jones

The project is shown as finishing May 2021, with yourself as project manager, so I assume there is now a report made available to UK companies.

I would very much like to see the report - can you send me a link to the report?]
