Provision of OEM Warranty performance inspections during the warranty period to ensure blades exit OEM warranty in acceptable condition, avoiding protracted repair programs, resulting in turbine loss production time. Utilising the Aviation Industry’s lessons learnt With the industry now recognising the effect leading edge erosion has on the energy capture, aerodynamic performance and structural integrity of the turbines blades, the requirement to adopt a proactive and preventative approach has never been greater. With blade tip speeds ever increasing, the lessons learnt by our friends in the aviation industry on identical leading edge erosion issues are applied within our Biim services.
