CASE STUDY:
Structural Blade Repair
Overview
Our client contacted us to request a blade tip repair
following damage caused by a lightning strike.
Deliverables
Using our specialised blade tent, we carried
out the repair in a weather protected,
controlled environment. We created a new
mould and shell, installed a replacement
lightning cable, then laminated, filled,
sanded, and painted the area, leaving the
blade looking and performing like new.
Coast Approach
We visited the site prior to the repair to perform a thorough inspection.
The inspection showed that the blade shell was torn. This was classed
as a category 5 repair and required a structural repair to be carried out.
We reviewed our findings and developed a repair plan to determine
what work was needed and the best course of action to take.
The blade was repaired and
prepared for reinstallation
onto the turbine, ready to
resume power production.
