Elios 3 for Wind Turbine Inspection
Purpose of Inspections:
• Ensure safety and optimal performance.
• Identify structural damage or defects.
• Support preventive maintenance to avoid costly downtime.
Key Inspection Focus Areas:
• Structural integrity of the tower and mechanical components.
• Blades for cracks, deformation, splits, holes, or other signs of damage.
• End-of-year warranty inspections are crucial to identify defects before warranties expire, enabling customers to claim repairs from manufacturers.
Frequency:
• Inspections are typically performed every 1-5 depending on customer or based on warranty periods.
Data Shared with Customers:
• Primarily images pinpointing the exact location of defects.
• Periodically, videos for additional context.
• LiDAR data to create a replicated version of the blade and highlight damaged areas.
Benefits of using the Elios 3:
• Reduced Costs – Eliminates scaffolding and confined space entry, cutting labor and equipment expenses.
• Reduced Confined Space Exposure – Minimizes the need for personnel to enter hazardous space.
