Component Cleaning
We provide a full-service wind turbine cleaning programme. The components inevitably gather dust and debris, just like any outdoor surface does. Cleaning the components not only improves the appearance visually but provides performance benefits and increased efficiency.
We use environmentally friendly and biodegradable cleaning solutions, this is due to a lot of wind farms being in remote areas with farm land and animals. Our technicians use specialist rope access techniques to negotiate around the different parts of the turbine.
We can provide our cleaning services for the components listed below:
- Towers
- Blades
- Hubs
- Nacelles

Installation and Pre-Assembly
We ensure installation projects are completed efficiently. Before arriving on site to install the turbines, extensive work preparations are made. We strive to ensure that all projects are completed within the time frames specified.
We support major OEMS to ensure the safe and efficient installation and commissioning of onshore turbines.
Our team brings knowledge from multi platform projects and have worked with world class OEMS and major clients.
We can prepare and install the following:
- Tower Sections
- Drive Trains
- Nacelles
- Blades
- Hubs
- Switch Gears
Preservation
Before turbines are installed on a wind farm, they have to pass several tests and inspections to verify that they are completely functional.
We have a committed team of professionals who have undergone thorough training to visit ports around the UK and Europe. This is to guarantee that the turbines receive the full preservation works.
We have a dedicated procedure with a component-specific checklist that includes:
- Tower preservation
- Blades preservation
- Drive-train preservation
- Nacelle preservation
- Hub preservation
In accordance with protocol, dry bags must be placed, internal and exterior damage must be recorded and the components must be placed on the appropriate storage device both at ports and at the job site.
Blade Inspection & Repairs
At Coast, we pride ourselves on offering our clients more than just integrated solutions. Our team also provides transportation, storage options, and a centralised location for keeping blades. Moreover, we offer inspection services for all parts of a wind turbine. Our technicians have years of practical experience in the field, making us a reliable partner for your wind turbine maintenance needs.
Some of the services include:
- Emergency Repairs
- Cosmetic/surface repairs to gel coats & surface finishes
- Lightning protection system inspections, repair & installation
- Leading and trailing edge repair
- Small to large structural repairs
- Turbine and Blade cleaning
- Internal & External repairs
- Pre end of warranty inspections
- Internal & external blade inspections
Servicing & Maintenance
To extend the lifecycle of assets, preventative maintenance is required. Every technical system requires regular maintenance. This is usually performed at set intervals, typically a few times per year.
As turbine components are exposed, extreme weather conditions pose a risk of damage, this is why turbines need routine checks.
If wind turbine components fail, the turbine may have to stop. This means unscheduled service at higher rates, costly repairs, loss of revenue and they will fail to meet government electricity demands.
We can help with the following:
- Scheduled OEM maintenance
- Cleaning/ paint repairs
- Statutory inspections
- Bolting and torquing
- Lubrication
- Oil changes
Site Management
At Coast, we provide a range of site management services through-out entire durations of projects across the UK and Europe.
Site managers are on site from the initial set up and manage the full installation of all wind turbines. The turbines then produce power and provide clean energy to thousands of homes across the UK.
Our competent and experienced site managers work hard to execute efficient schedules whilst maintaining a high standard of work with emphasis on health and safety. Communication with the client is key, ensuring they are always kept up to date with schedules.
Our site managers are enthusiastic and will identify team members with the correct skills to assign tasks to. They can adapt to change and are hands on, you know they will make the best decisions and see the the project under its completion.
