CLYDE WINDFARM INSPECTION FOR SIEMENS GAMESA
Sector Power Generation
Region Europe
The work included close visual inspections of the leading edge, training edge, pressure and suction sides of each blade, capturing a complete visual record of each blade.
Cyberhawk mobilised a two-man team to undertake the UAV inspections. Traditionally, the inspections would have been carried out using rope access technicians, however this technique would have doubled man hours on site and involves working at height.
Building on other recently completed inspections for Siemens Gamesa, Cyberhawk developed a tailored app to meet the client’s requirements. The requirement was a 25% overlap between images and no missing areas of the blade with processing and uploading on the same day as the inspection.
