W/T Blade Repair & Maintenance
REPAIR
CORRECT REPAIR DESIGN and REPAIR PROCEDURES & TECHNOLOGY are crucial for maximum blade structural integrity restoration. A dedicated and unique repair procedure is applied in each structural defect case, aiming to minimize W/T idle time and ensure immediate resumption of W/T operation, considering blade weight and class preservation and respecting tight working time frames. Maximum restoration leads to preservation and extension of blade operational life.

In Compblades repair work, repair (GL-approved) materials are applied in the appropriate environmental conditions using heat blankets and hot bonders to ensure proper curing programs for the resins. Materials are applied using wet hand lay-up and vacuum bagging techniques.
