Dismantling Fire-Damaged Wind Turbine

Overview

We received an urgent call from a client who needed our expertise to safely take down and decommission a turbine that had caught fire which had caused significant damage.

Coast Approach

We worked with the client to secure safe site access, ensuring all necessary documentation was in place. Together, we came up with a plan outlining our approach to the operation.

Our team was dispatched with all the necessary tools and equipment, and we ensured we had the right team that could work together to carry out the specialised task.

We arranged the crane hire and coordinated its operation, ensuring the safety of the turbine’s interior prior to its dismantling. Utilising specialist turning gear, we carefully lifted the blades and removed the rotor.

As the turbine came apart piece by piece, we maintained constant communication and coordination among our team members to guarantee a safe operation.

Deliverables

We successfully dismantled the turbine, creating space for a new one if the client wishes to build another one in the future. The client was delighted with the efficiency and professionalism we demonstrated throughout the duration of the project.
