No matter whether you need help with completing a major project or just minor repairs, our SERVICE INTELLIGENCE PROJECT allows us to develop integrated service concepts together with our partners for making our customers‘ existing wind turbines more productive in the long run.

Joint-Venture ROBUR RodopiThe recently founded Joint Venture between Rodopi Blades GmbH and WKA Blade Service offers the mobile staff assignment with diverse access technologies for the blade service within the European market.

With the application oft the 3M Wind Protection tape leading edge erosion can be significantly reduced and even be eliminated.

The installation of 3M Vortex Generators on the blades increases the turbine´s performance.

The blade retrofit with Bladena D-String and D-Stiffener protects rotor blades from structural damages from the max chord to mid span region. This leads to longer live time and more performance.

With support of Gram & Juhl CMS Solutions for monitoring of wind turbines, customers can even better protect their invests and conduct the maintenance of the turbines while optimizing the yield.WKA is distribution and installation partner for TCM® Retrofit systems.
