Wind turbine blade and hub cleaning by drone

The most exposed surface on the machine, cleaned from the ground and without abseiling.

Blades carry the largest exposed surface on a wind turbine and take the worst of the dust, salt, insect residue and general pollution. They also demand the most rope access time: entry from the nacelle, blade by blade descent, several days per machine.

Eolinet cleans blades and hub with drones flown from the ground. Nobody climbs the turbine, and the intervention is completed in one day per machine, under the same permits and the same insurance as every other service.

When this scope is booked

When an inspection has found soiling concentrated on the blades, when the site maintenance plan treats blades separately, or when the tower and nacelle are already covered another way.

If you also need tower or nacelle in the same campaign, combining scopes or going straight to the full clean usually works out better: mobilisation is paid once.

Partial scopes

The standard service covers the complete blade and the hub. A partial scope, the leading edge only for instance, is assessed case by case, because flight time and consumption change.

Questions about this service

Can you clean only the leading edge of the blade?

The standard service covers the complete blade and hub. Partial scopes are quoted individually, with the specific machine data.

Does production have to stop for the whole day?

Yes. The machine has to be in maintenance position during the intervention, with yaw and pitch controlled by the site.

What is delivered at the end?

Before and after photographic reporting for every turbine cleaned, included in the service.

Other services

Nacelle

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

Three data points are enough: number of turbines, location and rotor diameter. We come back with a fixed price per machine and scope within two working days.
