Wind turbine nacelle cleaning by drone

The highest point on the machine, cleaned without anyone having to reach it.

The nacelle houses the critical components of the machine. Cleaning its outer housing the traditional way means putting personnel eighty to a hundred metres up, with the downtime and the safety exposure that carries, for what is essentially surface work.

Eolinet cleans the nacelle exterior by drone, from the ground. Nobody physically accesses it. The risk attached to that specific point on the machine, one of the least forgiving places for a technician to work, leaves the process by design rather than through an additional safety procedure.

What is covered and what is not

The service covers the outer housing: accumulated soiling, ingrained grime and visible staining. There is no access to or intervention on internal components.

The site handles preventive sealing of the nacelle before the intervention, as part of normal operational coordination.

Combined or standalone

It is commonly booked alongside tower or blade cleaning, and equally often on its own when the goal is simply to recover the condition of the housing.
