Blades, hub, tower and nacelle in a single intervention, in one day per machine, with nobody climbing the turbine.
With rope access, a full clean takes four to five days per turbine: rigging, abseiling from the nacelle, section by section coverage, then de-rigging. The machine is down for most of that week.
Eolinet delivers the same scope with drones flown from the ground by accredited pilots. The whole crew stays on the ground throughout. On site that means one day per turbine and downtime measured in hours rather than days.
What the full scope covers
Blades and hub, the complete tower shaft and the outer nacelle housing, in the same visit. We work with water, pressure equipment, compressors and degreasers, with the turbine held in maintenance position.
Visual inspection is part of the same flight. Every machine is handed over with its own before and after photographic report, included in the service rather than sold as an extra.
What we need from the site
Two things, both under your control: the turbine held in maintenance position (yaw and pitch) for the duration of the intervention, and preventive sealing of the nacelle before we start. Everything else is ours, aviation permits included.
When the full scope makes sense
When the machine is coming down anyway and the window is worth using. Also when the turbine has gone years without an intervention and the soiling is not confined to one area. If you only need blades, tower or nacelle, each scope is available on its own.
Tower and nacelle cleaning on the same turbine, before and after the intervention, with the same crop on both photographs. The blades were not part of this campaign. What is still visible is the most ingrained grime: getting one hundred per cent of it off a surface that has spent years outdoors is not possible, and we would rather show the real result than a retouched photograph.
Questions about this service
What exactly does the full clean cover?
Blades, hub, tower and nacelle in the same intervention, with before and after photographic evidence for every machine.
Can we clean only part of the turbine?
Yes. Blade and hub cleaning, tower cleaning and nacelle cleaning are separate services and are quoted independently.
How long is the turbine down?
One day. The turbine has to be in maintenance position for the duration of the intervention, against four to five days with rope access.

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.
