Frequently Asked Questions

CloseoutTab is a prefabricated, engineered repair solution designed to restore damaged wind turbine blade bulkheads. It replaces traditional, labour-intensive repair methods with a controlled, repeatable system that improves safety, consistency, and operational efficiency.

CloseoutTab uses a prefabricated composite tab system installed in-situ to reinstate the bulkhead barrier and restore functional integrity through a standardized, step-by-step process.

Traditional repairs are highly dependent on technician skill and site conditions, leading to variability in quality.

CloseoutTab replaces this with a prefabricated, fully tested and validated solution, ensuring repeatable installation, cycle time savings, consistent quality, and reduced reliance on specialist crews.

CloseoutTab is designed to repair cracked-bulkhead-joints or loose bulkheads—restoring safe access and protecting the internal blade environment.

CloseoutTab restores the internal bulkhead barrier, removing fall-through hazards and stabilising working conditions for technicians.

CloseoutTab is installed in-situ, up-tower, with no need for blade removal or cranes.

Installation can typically be completed in as little as four hours per blade turbine, depending on conditions.

CloseoutTab can reduce repair costs to approximately 10% of traditional methods, while minimizing downtime and removing dependency on specialist repair teams.

Each kit includes prefabricated tabs, adhesive, consumables, tools and clear work instructions.

It is designed for installation by existing service teams, supported by straightforward guidance—no specialist composite expertise required.

CloseoutTab is fully tested for load and cyclic performance, ensuring reliable, repeatable performance under operational conditions.

CloseoutTab can be installed in temperatures between 60°F and 95°F,
