Hans Aa Group in Denmark has developed a new reusable inflatable cover to protect site stored wind turbine towers.
The cover can be mounted, moved, and disabled without crane, saving customers “a lot of time and money”, said the company.
The Easy, Reusable, Inflatable Cover (ERIC) replaces the heavy steel constructions, covered with a tarp, generally used to protect wind turbine towers.
ERIC is lightweight for easy handling and made to fit the tower escalators to avoid crane-mounting.
ERIC is easily inflated and installed, with a unique mounting solution directly on the tower for maximum attachment. After use, ERIC can be saved and reused multiple times.
The ERIC tarp meets all expectations regards to the protection of towers and safety regulations.
