Blade Repair

Blade Repair BR (70 h 20 min)

Aim: The aim of this module is to enable participants, through theoretical and practical training, to support and care for themselves and others working in the wind industry by possessing the necessary knowledge, skills, and ability for blade repair. Upon completion, participants will be able to perform and document a wind turbine blade inspection, and execute repair work in accordance with a work instruction while maintaining the aerodynamic profile and structural integrity.
