About Us
Rotor blade maintenance the right way
As South Africa’s first dedicated blade specialist, we focus exclusively on the inspection, repair, and optimisation of wind turbine rotor blades. Recognising that blade condition directly affects performance, we adhere to the highest industry standards to help clients maximise the yield from their assets.
With extensive experience across all aspects of blade repair and a proven track record, we are Africa’s preferred blade repair specialist. Our highly skilled technicians are dedicated to delivering exceptional service and the most cost-effective solutions.
Our Services
Inspections
Regular inspections by our certified technicians help identify issues early, saving time and money. We assess the condition of blades, both inside and out, including:
- Blade surfaces
- Structural integrity
- Flow elements
- Water drain vents
- Lightning protection
Using rope access techniques, we reach hard-to-access areas safely without the need for costly cranes. Every inspection is thorough, precise, and fully documented.
Blade Repair
Even minor surface damage can reduce the performance of wind turbines. Our expert repair technicians restore blades to preserve their aerodynamic shape and structural integrity.
Our repair services include:
- Structural repairs at the root and bonding areas
- Erosion damage repair and erosion protection foil installation
- Installation and maintenance of flow elements
- Lightning protection system repairs and upkeep
- Repair of lightning-related damages
Repairs are performed using rope access, downtower or platforms techniques depending on the turbine configuration and site conditions.
Optimisation
Power losses can result from mass imbalances, incorrect blade angles or poor aerodynamic flow.
We identify the root cause through vibration analysis, photometric measurements and other diagnostics and take targeted action to restore optimal performance.
Lightning Protection System
The lightning protection system is critical to ensure the durability and long-term performance of wind turbines. We assess the functionality of all components and repair or replace any faulty parts to keep wind turbines fully operational and protected against lightning strikes.
