Blade Inspections
Minimize Downtime and Maximize Savings with Blade Inspections
Drone-Based Inspections
Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is the cutting-edge way to inspect wind turbines, allowing for numerous daily inspections and increased technician safety.
Advantages of using UAVs as inspection drones:
- Year-round, on and offshore inspections
- Increased safety of inspection staff
- Saves money by decreasing downtime
- Does a full day’s inspection work in one hour!
- Crisp images/videos from optimal perspectives
- Can be equipped with infrared/thermal sensors
- Maneuverable and easy to control
- Fly autonomously along predefined flight routes
- Real-time survey investigation
- Streamed to the engineer on the ground
- Probe potential issues while still in the air
Visual and Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Inspections
Regular NDI inspections help identify embedded problems and prevent problems from developing into catastrophic issues.
Our skilled NDT technicians can locate:
- Impact damage
- Fiber waviness with wrinkles
- Skin-to-core delamination
- Crack detection
- Delamination on the multi-layered wall of the main spar
- Lack of glue between the skin and main spar
- Fatigue-related damages
