Wind Turbine Blade Inspection

Utilising a variety of access techniques for blade inspection, GEV are able to provide a fast and effective service to complete the detailed analysis of all aspects of damage to the wind turbine blades.

If necessary, we are able to deploy an expert to complete a close visual inspection of the wind turbine blade to correctly classify levels of damage, using rope access techniques as the quickest method to save on lost production. The incorrect diagnosis of damage is a common issue and typically leads to unforeseen delays with the repair process and preventative campaigns exceeding budgets.
