Good ideas can translate. The simple idea of a walk anchor was used to come up with a safe way to rig to compromised wind turbine blades. Barnhart frequently is called upon to develop engineered safe approaches to dismantle compromised turbine due to thermal events or blade mishaps. One task that can be time consuming is how to rig to broken wind turbine blades. Barnhart engineers upscaled the idea of a wall anchor to attach to broken blades. In a similar fashion, Barnhart will drill a hole into the blade, insert the toggle and voilà – you have a safe lifting point. This highly successful innovation has been used countless times to bring efficiency and added safety to our maintenance teams. Innovative thought + design and fabrication capacity bring better tools and processes to market.
