tower refurbishment
There are several causes which can lead to damage the tower of a wind turbine. External environmental influences such as UV light, frost and salty air or water, but also the dynamic load caused by the rotations can cause damages on the tower and foundation connections. Even the smallest damage can lead to significant corrosive damage within a very short time. Regular maintenance and immediate repair are essential.
