Maintenance specialists in wind turbine blades

Wind turbine efficiency is based on many factors, particularly composite blade quality. Unfortunately, erosion and weather conditions will cause normal wear and tear. The blades can also be damaged by ice or other weather conditions. A regular on-site visual inspection and preventative maintenance help reduce prolonged production shutdowns that would otherwise be required to perform important repairs.

Inspection

Service_composite_inspection

Repairing a wind turbine blade is both complex and delicate. You must be able to detect anomalies very early on that may cause significant damage to the composite and result in reduced overall wind turbine production.

Our qualified and experienced technicians are able to recognize the different levels of composite material wear. They will conduct a 360-degree inspection of the parts, from inside the blade towards the outside, paying particular attention to the joints and moving parts.

Through a detailed inspection of each blade on each wind turbine, our blade inspection technicians can identify the problematic areas to target first. An inspection report provides details of the kind of work to be carried out.

Maintenance

The edge of the blades wears naturally because of erosion and weather conditions. You can avoid breakdown and unnecessary downtimes through planned maintenance, according to a TECHÉOL inspection report, and thus improve your production.

Our experienced maintenance technicians perform inspections and repairs in both the inside and outside of the blades. They can apply a coating or a film to restore the wind turbine’s quality. They establish priorities according to a planned maintenance schedule and based on the severity of any damage present.

Electromechanical maintenance work recommended by TECHÉOL’s experts is synchronized with wind energy operations as much as possible. The objective is to limit service interruptions and to optimize the technical teams’ work.

Profitable preventative maintenance :

  • Erosion protection
  • Transverse crack repair

Repairs

Sometimes fiberglass components break because of ice or extreme cold. We know this kind of situation and we have become masters in doing quick, precise work. TECHÉOL’s experienced technicians are trained to respond efficiently to this kind of problem as soon as possible.

Our fiberglass repair technicians work on several hundred blades per year. They are able to repair all kinds of damage. No matter how big the problem and its location on the blade, no challenge is too great.

The repair service is carried out by NHI-Protection certified technicians for work at height from suspended platforms. In addition, we provide detailed, precise work plans and reports that are authorized by our team of experts. With a work procedure adapted to your situation, your turbine will be quickly returned to its original state.
