Blade Care | RS Windtech Engineers (P) Ltd.

Protecting Your Blade Investment

RS Windtech's blade care programme includes regular inspection and maintenance of wind turbine blades. It improves safety, extends blade life, and helps the turbine keep producing power efficiently.

Our teams are equipped to access blades at height and carry out inspection and maintenance work using rope access and platform-based methods, supported by our workshop and tooling infrastructure.

Blade Inspection

Regular visual & hands-on inspection at height

Repair & protective maintenance work

Blade Care – Inspection & Monitoring

Inspection & Assessment

Blade Root Wobbling Test & Gap Inspection

Inspection of blade root movement and gap using Digital Indicators and Feeler Gauges to identify abnormal movement and gap deviations.

Blade Lightning Protection System Resistance Test

Electrical resistance and continuity testing of the blade lightning protection system to verify proper functionality and reliable lightning protection performance.

Blade Bearing UT Inspection

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is used to monitor the blade structure and identify potential defects and anomalies.

External Blade Inspection – Drone & Platform

Inspection of the blade external surface using drone and platform access to identify cracks, erosion, lightning damage, surface damage, and other visible defects.

Internal Blade Inspection

Visual inspection of the blade interior through manual access and robotic inspection, including difficult-to-reach areas, to identify internal damage and defects.

Blade Monitoring System

Online 24X7 Root Gap Monitoring

Sensors monitor changes in blade root gap to detect abnormal movement and gap variations — a solution developed in house, in partnership.

Root Gap Monitoring

Continuous sensor-based blade root gap monitoring

Blade Care – Repair

Blade Repair Services

Comprehensive Blade Repair Solutions

We provide inspection-based repair solutions across five categories of blade damage, with the appropriate repair method selected based on the actual blade condition identified during inspection.

Root Gap Retrofit Work, Upgrades & Modifications

For blade root gap and insert issues, we apply suitable repair methods such as insert replacement, gap correction, torque adjustment, bush/stud retrofit, and up-tower corrective actions to restore blade root integrity and reliable operation.

Lightning Damage Repair

Inspection and repair of lightning-damaged blade areas using suitable repair methods to restore structural integrity and lightning protection performance.

Lightning Receptor Replacement

Inspection and replacement of damaged or defective lightning receptors to restore the blade's lightning protection system.

Aerodynamic Add-On Inspection & Replacement

Inspection of Vortex Generators (VG), Serrated Trailing Edge (STE), Gurney Flaps, and other aerodynamic add-ons. Damaged or worn components are repaired or replaced to maintain aerodynamic performance and support noise control.

Preventive Blade Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance

LE Protection Tape Application

Application of 3M Leading Edge (LE) Protection Tape to protect the blade leading edge from rain, dust, sand, and environmental erosion, helping to extend blade service life.

Blade Cleaning

Professional cleaning of the blade surface to remove dirt, dust, oil, insects, and other contaminants, helping maintain blade surface condition and aerodynamic performance.

Why Blade Care Matters

Blades are among the most exposed and highest-value components of a wind turbine. Left unchecked, minor surface damage can grow into costly structural issues and lost generation. A proactive blade care programme protects both safety and performance.

Improved turbine safety
Extended blade service life
Reduced unplanned downtime
Sustained power generation efficiency
