DEMOLITION | Damaged Wind Turbine

  • After a new 117-meter tall wind turbine was damaged by a thermal event even before it was commissioned for operation, the wind farm owner looked for a safe and expeditious means to fell the damaged unit without compromising the ability to reuse the foundation for a replacement unit. CDI designed preparation of the unit to permit its client, North Coast Enterprise, to pre-salvage the Down Tower Assembly (DTA) before CDI’s felling of the unit into that area which minimized disruption of wind farm and agricultural assets at the site.
    Total preparation time was less than 24-working-hours.
    The unit was felled by CDI on May 22, 2023, and debris from the unit was cleaned up and removed by North Coast and their site contractor by May 31, 2023.
    There was no damage to the foundation.

    That was amazing. I know this one caught on fire before it's service life started so it had to be brought down. My question is what is the normal service life of a wind turbine?

      Until your natural gas plant explodes cause of a leak or someone using open flame. There’s risk and rewards to all forms of energy including renewable. There’s no reason we can’t use all different kinds

    Such a beautiful landscape, marred by all those useless, inefficient and bloody expensive wind turbines.
    Wind is not guaranteed 24/7, and it has to be the right type of wind. Too little, and they don't work. Too much, and they have to be locked down and feathered, so they don't work. And to do that they need electricity from the fossil fuelled grid.
    Solar only works during daylight hours, even if it's cloudy. Bearing in mind the North and South Poles only get sunshine for about 5 months a year each, so Solar is a total waste of time.
    The one thing that is guaranteed is tidal flow, which happens all around the world. You can almost set you're watch by the tides, they're that regular. The only time you get energy reduction is during slack water, and that doesn't last long.
    Wave and Tidal energy production is the way to go.

    • @reubensvlogchannel8565
      @reubensvlogchannel8565 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Interesting to note that coal and natural gas have explosions and fires as well.
      We’re talking about turbines and untapped energy. Regardless of the method of how electricity is produced, there’s always going to be a risk of fire and explosions.
      Coal plants can start on fire. Natural gas plants leak and explode. Wind turbines can catch fire. Hydro turbines can get flooded and short out. Solar panels can get too hot and short out.
      Not fair to chalk wind energy up to “propaganda” and “eyesores” when they have just as many risks as any other form of energy.

      @jonbicho9840 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @reubensvlogchannel8565 That is your opinion. They are eye sores in mine. Where I live, i have seen 2 or 3 year old units that have been damaged by whatever means taken down and not replaced. If the energy they produced was of value, they would have been replaced in a reasonable time frame.
