Blade Repair
Every type of wind turbine blade damage, from minor leading edge protection (LEP) erosion to critical delamination, directly affects a turbine’s aerodynamic performance and annual energy production (AEP). Even small surface irregularities can disturb airflow, increase drag and reduce lift efficiency, leading to measurable energy losses over time.
As damage progresses, aerodynamic imbalance and localized stress concentrations may develop, accelerating material fatigue and increasing the risk of further structural deterioration. If not properly assessed and addressed at an early stage, these defects can result in reduced turbine efficiency, higher maintenance requirements and long term AEP loss.
Accurate damage detection, correct classification and timely engineering-based intervention are therefore essential to maintaining blade performance and maximizing energy output.
Engineering Based Structural Repair
As damage progresses:
Aerodynamic efficiency decreases
AEP loss increases
Structural risk grows
Repair cost rises
Timely inspection and engineering-based repair are essential for long term turbine reliability.
Each damage is evaluated with a dedicated repair scheme, considering laminate structure, fiber orientation, core condition and environmental factors.

At Atlas Createch, blade repair is not treated as a standardized task, but as a project-specific engineering process.
Each repair is planned and executed based on detailed damage assessment, site conditions and turbine specific requirements.
Our approach includes:
-
Engineering-based damage evaluation, not template-driven decisions
-
Repair schemes tailored to each blade, considering real load paths and structural behavior
-
Human-evaluated inspection data, avoiding over- or under-classification of damage
-
Controlled repair execution performed by experienced technicians
-
Full compliance with OEM and IEC standards
-
Detailed documentation and reporting before, during and after repair
By combining engineering insight with hands on field experience, Atlas Createch ensures that every repair restores structural integrity, aerodynamic performance and long term reliability.
