What are Industrial Composites?
Industrial composites are advanced materials made by combining two or more different substances, such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, and resin. These materials offer unique strength-to-weight ratios, making them perfect for high-performance applications in harsh environments. In the wind turbine industry, composite materials are primarily used for blades, but their benefits extend to factories, manufacturing facilities, and other industrial uses requiring strong yet lightweight components.

EDF has a wide and varied fleet of wind turbines which generates One Gigawatt of renewable energy. This sizeable fleet requires constant maintenance from specialist personnel and contractors in order to maintain the highest possible efficiency, one of those contractors is Bladestar Blade Repair.
After suffering from Failures in Our hybrid cooling tower blades I was contacted by Blade Star who were confident they could provide a solution to enable us to
Repair our cracked blades and reuse them rather than disposing of them,
The repair procedure was fast, efficient, economical and it was well received as where the employees from blade Star
The repaired blades have been refitted to the cooling towers and have proved there worth and have been on the units for over a year with no failures,
In my role as supervisor, I oversee a major wind farm project in Germany. Due to design adjustments, some towers had to be sealed from the outside. We ordered a subcontractor to the site to carry out the work. The team leader was Chris Gillies from Bladestar Renewables Ltd. He had his team were very careful during the work process and extremely fast and cooperative. Punctuality was also a top priority. In addition, Bladestar were able to contribute very good suggestions for improving the sealing processes thanks to their many years of experience! The quality of the work carried out was very high. All in all, the team were a pleasure to work with. We would hire Bladestar again at any time!
