As the renewable energy industry rapidly matures, a critical question looms: what happens at the end of a wind turbine’s life? For Everpoint Services, the answer is clear—turn end-of-life challenges into opportunities for innovation, sustainability, and impact.
In this exclusive PES Wind feature, we spoke with Everpoint’s leadership team—Tyler Goodell (CEO), Candace Wood (COO), David Grobe (CFO & Controller), and James Timmins (VP of Engineering)—about how the company is revolutionizing decommissioning, recycling, and site remediation in the renewable energy sector.
With a skilled team of over 80 field technicians and offices in Houston and Wichita Falls, Everpoint takes on complex demolition and repowering projects across both wind and solar assets. From blade recycling to site enhancements, the company brings an engineering-first approach to every project.
“We’ve developed a novel application for recycling wind turbine blades that avoids landfill and cement filler solutions,” said James Timmins. “It’s a new pathway—so new, in fact, we’ve applied for a patent.”
One example that highlights Everpoint’s adaptability was the safe handling of a partially collapsed wind turbine. Standard crane operations weren’t possible due to instability. Instead, the team deployed robotic torch technology to safely segment the tower before proceeding with ground-level dismantling and remediation.
For COO Candace Wood, safety isn’t a buzzword—it’s a core value. “We enforce strict safety protocols, conduct routine inspections and emergency drills, and foster a culture of accountability. Real-time hazard mitigation ensures risks are addressed immediately,” she explained.
This approach, paired with transparency, also extends to project planning, budgeting, and procurement. “Clients don’t have unlimited time or money. We need to plan, execute, improve, and repeat,” Wood added.
David Grobe emphasized the importance of detailed execution and partnerships. “Our experienced team identifies equipment needs early, and we collaborate with tool manufacturers and research labs to stay at the forefront of innovation,” he said.
This forward-thinking strategy includes Everpoint’s proprietary BladeBlok™ Recycling Program—a cost-effective solution that diverts composite waste from landfills and reduces the environmental impact of decommissioning.
Everpoint has also integrated SensorETA IoT tracking technology into their operations. These sensors monitor turbine components from dismantling to final processing, providing an unbroken chain of custody stored securely on the blockchain.
Clients receive a “Proof of Recycling” certificate via Media Sourcery’s decentralized system—offering unprecedented transparency and verification in an industry where, historically, a signed document was considered enough.
What gives Everpoint its competitive edge? “We’ve carved out a niche focusing solely on end-of-life solutions,” said Wood. “Through our partnership with Blastpoint, a specialist in controlled demolition, we deliver services others only offer as secondary capabilities.”
For Tyler Goodell, collaboration and transparency are not just best practices—they’re business fundamentals. “Honesty drives better safety, better service, and a higher standard overall,” he said.
Looking forward, Goodell sees financial viability as essential to long-term sustainability. “Profitability and cost-neutral solutions must go hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility. I’m inspired by the ingenuity rising within the industry—it feels like we’re on the cusp of something truly transformative.”
