Pressure Washing Huge Windmill Blades

We got a call from Vestas for pressure washing the blades to one of their wind power plants.
You don’t realize how big they are until you get close enough for pressure washing. When you see them out in the field, they don’t look that big – but they’re immense.
Most people never see them up close, just off in the distance while they slowly spin, generating electricity from the wind.
Up close, they look as long as a football field. Just take a look at picture 7 below where one of our guys is pressure washing the blade.
If you look closely, you can see the trailers are specially designed to stretch out to the length needed to haul these blades. The front of the blade where it attaches to the center mast is almost as big as the trailer, which is eight feet six inches wide.
Vestas just needed pressure washing to remove the dirt that had accumulated while they were waiting to be shipped to be mounted on a tall tower in the middle of a field somewhere.
If you need pressure washing for something huge, give us a call.
