CASE STUDY:
Dismantling and Decommissioning
Fire-Damaged Wind Turbine
Overview
We received an urgent call from a client who needed our
expertise to safely take down and decommission a turbine that
had caught fire which had caused significant damage.
Coast Approach
We worked with the client to secure safe site access, ensuring all
necessary documentation was in place. Together, we came up with a
plan outlining our approach to the operation. Our team was dispatched
with all the necessary tools and equipment, and we ensured we had the
right team that could work together to carry out the specialised task.
We arranged the crane hire and coordinated its operation, ensuring the
safety of the turbine’s interior prior to its dismantling. Utilising specialist
turning gear, we carefully lifted the blades and removed the rotor.
As the turbine came apart piece by piece, we maintained constant
communication and coordination among our team members to
guarantee a safe operation.
Deliverables
The wind turbine was safely dismantled
within a short time frame, with all
components disposed of in accordance
with industry standards and regulations.
We also provided the client with guidance on
fire prevention measures to ensure ongoing
safety in the event of a new installation.
The turbine was safely
dismantled and properly
disposed of, ready for a
new one to be installed.
