As part of our collaborative R&D programme Innovate UK, the UK's innovation agency has awarded a consortium led by Adamas Wind Limited a co-funded project to develop a shearography system for on-site inspection of wind turbine blades.
The ShearWin project combines the engineering expertise of Front Technologies and Innerspec with the composite knowledge and wind industry experience of Adamas Wind. The development of the system could bring to market a rapidly deployable, highly capable NDT tool that could help detect structurally critical defects that may otherwise remain hidden using traditional non-destructive methods.
