Clean blades by drone, in hours instead of weeks.
Our proprietary drone system applies a specialised foam, made by RenewChem, that lifts what builds up on blades over time. No one hangs from the nacelle, and your turbine is back online the same day.
Insects, oil, salt and grime roughen the leading edge of a blade. The air no longer flows cleanly over it, and the turbine sells less energy in the same wind. A clean blade turns wind into money again.
Less risk, less red tape, less downtime.
No one at height means far less risk of injury. Fewer approvals mean we mobilise faster. And a turbine back online in a day means more energy sold.
Traditional rope access
- Time per turbine
- Up to one or two weeks
- People at height
- A rope team hanging from the nacelle
- Red tape
- Rigging, working-at-heights permits and safety files
- Downtime
- Several days to weeks offline
- Cost
- A large crew on site for days
RenewClean drone cleaning
- Time per turbine
- About 3 to 4 hours*
- People at height
- Nobody leaves the ground
- Red tape
- Far fewer approvals, because no one works at height
- Downtime
- Back running the same day
- Cost
- A small crew for a few hours, so it costs less
*Depending on how dirty the blades are and on wind conditions on the day.
Inspect. Foam and clean. Confirm.
Every clean starts and ends with a drone inspection, so you only pay for blades that need it, and you see the result.
1 · Inspect
A drone inspection shows whether the blades need a clean.
2 · Foam and clean
RenewChem foam lifts insects, oil, salt and grime off the blades.
3 · Confirm
A follow-up drone inspection shows the blades are clean.
Back online
The turbine is running again the same day.
