Maintenance and Repairs of Wind Turbine Blades
Whether it’s from a bird strike, harsh weather conditions or the detachment of blade furniture, damage to wind turbine blades has onerous financial implications. And with blades typically more than 52 metres long and weighing more than 12 tonnes, repairs can be difficult and cumbersome to undertake.
Unscheduled down time costs £1m per megawatt and one failed turbine can lose £5,000 of revenue each day. As a result, operators must have robust preventive maintenance programmes in place and the support of trusted repair partners and OEM manufacturers.
Our Scheduled Wind Turbine Blade Repair Services Include:
- Planning, method statement and risk assessment for the wind turbine blade replacement.
- Isolation of the wind turbine to allow blade replacement to take place.
- Wind turbine blade disconnection and removal.
- Lifting the new blade into position.
- Commissioning support for your wind turbine blade replacement through our partners.
- Reactive maintenance on faulty wind turbine blades.
