For wind turbine owners, service companies and O&M
Drone-based screening of wind turbine rotor blades with thermal analysis and assessment of visible surface damage. We look for indications of hidden structural damage and provide information to help you prioritise further inspection and maintenance.
Screening during operation
Screening is carried out while the wind turbine is in normal operation, without stopping it for data collection. The results help you choose which turbines and blade areas need closer inspection and support maintenance decisions.
Two analysis methods in one service
UAS Inspect carries out drone-based data collection. Our specialist partner AQUADA analyses the material and produces the report. Thermal analysis and RGB-based assessment of surface damage are included together.
Thermal analysis
Thermal camera material is analysed to identify indications of hidden damage and structural deviations beneath the rotor blade surface.
Visual analysis · RGB
Conventional camera images are used to assess visible damage on rotor blade surfaces and complement the thermal analysis.
What you receive
The report brings together the project scope, analysis results, located findings and recommendations. This makes it easier to pass the right information to the operations team or the next inspection and service partner.

Report · AQUADA
Information about the wind farm and the turbines included in the project.
A summary of the project and the scope of screening.
Identified indications with details of the affected rotor blade and area.
Proposed damage categories for the findings, supporting further technical assessment.
Analysis images showing the results and making observations easier to understand and follow up.
Suggestions for further handling, such as targeted close inspection or in-depth investigation ahead of maintenance.
Initial decision support
Screening helps you identify rotor blades and areas requiring closer investigation. The results can be used to plan targeted close inspection and further investigation ahead of decisions about repair or replacement.
Finding no deviations does not mean a rotor blade is free from damage. Findings may need verifying through close inspection or other testing methods.
How the project is carried out
We review the number of turbines, model, damage history and your question. Execution is planned with the operations manager and analysis provider.
UAS Inspect collects thermal material and RGB images using drones according to the agreed method and site conditions.
AQUADA carries out thermal analysis and RGB-based assessment of surface damage. Identified indications are linked to the blade and area.
You receive a report with analysis images, located findings, proposed damage categories and recommendations for further handling.
