Rotor blade inspections on wind turbines
We inspect the rotor blades of your wind turbine right from production up to smooth operation!
They are directly exposed to constant environmental influences such as temperature changes, precipitation, UV light and lightning. Due to their shape and size, rotor blades place high demands on production and maintenance. If damage to rotor blades is discovered too late, high repair costs and long downtimes can quickly arise. Continuous monitoring of the rotor blades – already during manufacturing and in operation – prevents this. In the context of regular inspections for condition-based maintenance, initial damages can be detected within reasonable time. These can usually be repaired with little effort before they expand uncontrollably. Repairs can thus be planned and carried out under favourable conditions. This also reduces costly downtimes. Continuous monitoring ensures trouble-free operation and reduces maintenance costs.
We climb high for you. Our innovative rope access technology for rotor blades allows quick and flexible responses to individual requirements:
- Suitable for any turbine type, size and hub height
- Applicable everywhere – for onshore and offshore turbines
- Optimum access to all outer areas of the rotor blade
- Low technical effort
- Short downtimes
