An open and honest dialog with customers is the key to success

At AeroNordic, we believe that open and honest dialogue with our customers is the key to success.
Continuous dialogue with the customer ensures that we establish the right solution,  whether it is in the execution of a product validation or implementing new repair methods.
We constantly investigate new technologies and processes that could enable lower-cost blade maintenance on new and existing platforms.
Our Team at AeroNordic is very unique:

the combination of skills, from hands-on processing to detailed material and composite specialists makes us a stronger team than just the sum of individual competencies. 

This is what make us different.

Rain Erosion Testing (RET)

The leading edge of any wind turbine blade is exposed to extreme conditions during its operation. This environment sets high demands on the leading edge protection (LEP).


· As a part of evaluating a LEP, we perform accelerated Rain Erosion Testing to understand erosion behavior, failure mode & performance.


· To ensure correct performance of the LEP solutions, we manufacture our own test specimens. This allows us to support our customer to validate their LEP solution for every operational blade type currently available.


· As part of the service, we can apply the LEP system under simulated environmental conditions. 


· This test rig combined with the unique knowledge within our team gives AeroNordic a unique position in the wind industry as an independent third-party engineering house.


· Our RET is fully compliant with the DNVGL RP-0171.


· Test procedure and reporting, aligned with OEM’s.

LEP materials
Lifetime evaluation

Rain erosion is more than just test exposure time and weight loss!


· With a new rig configuration combined with recommended practice from DNV-GL, we offer a strong correlation to in-field performance.


· In addition to the basic rain erosion testing. A detailed analysis of the rain erosion test data combined with site-specific weather data allows our engineers to establish in-field erosion performance predictions.


· This service opens a new and much more diversified approach to leading edge protection on new installations and maintenance strategy for the legacy fleet.
