| WIND TURBINE GENERATOR (WTG) TRAINING SIMULATOR |
|
 |
|
Turbine shutdowns are a financial burden but necessary to carry out height safety and rescue training. We are delighted to announce we have a solution!
A new WTG training simulator with hub, yaw and nacelle is being installed at our Kendal Height Safety Centre to compliment our existing indoor 30m open shaft. This new facility will enable us to cover many different access, egress and rescue scenarios, including yaw, roof, hub and blade rescues as well as lifting systems and evacuation systems. This will offer realistic work/rescue scenario training and reduce the need for turbine shutdown. Scheduled for completion in January 2010 the new facility will be available for courses thereafter.
For the Offshore Wind industry we have also installed a new offshore ladder to enable simulated training scenarios for transfers to vessels in emergency and rescue situations. |
