Featured Projects
Blade tip replacement
Lightning strikes wreak havoc on wind turbine blades, and sometimes these lightning blasts cause severe damage to the blade tip and lightning protection system. The majority of these damaged blades can be repaired, even...
Carbon Fiber Spar Repair
Lightning strikes wind turbine blades every day. Most of the strikes are dissipated to ground as the lightning protection system (LPS) on the turbine is designed to do; however, some strikes will have enough energy to ca...
Leading Edge Protection
All turbine blades will experience leading edge erosion. Leading edge erosion is caused by rain, sand, bugs, and ice, and without leading edge protection (LEP) most blades will have significant leading edge damage in 2 t...
