Make confident decisions about asset lifespan and performance
Move beyond assumption with engineering-led insight and remaining useful life estimation, helping you understand how damage evolves, when to act and how to maximise long-term value.
The gap between damage found and decision made
Inspection tells you a crack exists. It doesn’t tell you how fast it’s growing, when it becomes critical, or whether the asset can safely continue operating for another two years or ten.
Without that understanding, decisions around repair timing, replacement investment and operational risk default to conservative assumptions, costing more than necessary, or leaving value on the table.

How Ilosta delivers remaining useful life estimation
We combine your inspection data with structural engineering models to simulate how damage behaves under the conditions your assets experience from load cycles to environmental stress and material fatigue.
Simulate how your asset structure responds to real loads and stress concentrations. Understand how existing damage affects integrity over time.
Apply crack propagation principles to model how damage grows from first detection, giving you a time-to-failure estimate.
Receive a clear, decision-ready estimate of safe remaining operational life, with the engineering evidence needed to justify action to stakeholders and investors.
Traditional life extension assessments are often treated as one-off engineering exercises based on snapshots in time. But assets continue to operate in changing environmental and loading conditions long after those decisions are made.
Ilosta sits within the ongoing lifecycle of asset integrity management, continuously connecting inspection, operational and structural data to support more accurate remaining life estimation, intervention planning and risk management.
Inspection findings, SCADA and operational inputs collected across the asset.
Finite element analysis and physics-based modelling simulate structural behaviour under real operating conditions.
Existing defects are analysed to understand how damage evolves over time under actual loading conditions.
Remaining life predictions and risk profiles continuously evolve as new inspection and operational data becomes available.
Support repair timing, life extension strategy, maintenance optimisation and replacement planning with greater confidence.
From condition data to asset strategy
Remaining useful life estimation doesn’t sit in isolation. It connects directly to the decisions that matter most for long-term asset performance.
This connected view allows teams to move away from calendar-based maintenance cycles toward condition-informed planning, reducing unnecessary intervention costs while managing structural risk with precision.
End-of-design-life planning
As assets approach their original design life, Ilosta’s Crack Map technology provides the engineering evidence needed to support safe life extension or to plan replacement with accurate timing and cost certainty.
Repair versus replacement decisions
When significant damage is identified, Ilosta quantifies the impact on remaining life and AEP, giving you the data to make repair or replacement decisions on commercial terms, not precaution.
Technical due diligence and acquisition
Understand the true structural condition and remaining value of assets being acquired, refinanced or transferred, with independent engineering analysis to support the transaction.
Decommissioning planning
Where continued operation is not viable, Ilosta provides the structural evidence to plan decommissioning efficiently, avoiding unnecessary inspection cycles on assets at end of life.
Remaining useful life (RUL) estimation uses engineering modelling to predict how long a wind turbine component can continue operating safely before intervention is required. Ilosta applies finite element analysis and crack propagation modelling to deliver RUL estimates grounded in your asset’s actual condition and operating history.
Finite element analysis (FEA) simulates how a structure responds to real-world loads and stresses by dividing it into smaller elements and modelling their behaviour. For wind turbines, Ilosta uses FEA to understand how existing damage affects structural integrity and evolves under operational loading conditions.
Yes. Ilosta’s platform is data-source agnostic and can work from existing inspection data, historic reports, SCADA and NDT results to build structural models and deliver life extension analysis without requiring new site visits to begin.
Yes. By understanding remaining life and future performance, Ilosta supports more informed decisions around repair, replacement and long-term asset strategy.
Ilosta’s asset life extension analysis covers blades, towers and Balance of Plant (BoP) components, both onshore and offshore. It is most valuable where damage has been identified and the structural implications for continued operation need to be clearly understood.
Your assets may have more life in them than your last inspection suggests.
Ilosta gives you the engineering evidence to find out and act on it.
