Abstract:
Apparatus for treating a surface of a wind turbine blade ( 14 ), comprising an expandable structure ( 22 ) that is deployable from a collapsed state into an expanded state in which the structure defines an elongated treatment zone ( 32 ) into which a blade ( 14 ) is receivable in use. The apparatus includes treating means ( 52 ) arranged to apply a treatment in the treatment zone. Also provided is a method for treating a wind turbine blade ( 14 ) including: positioning a wind turbine blade in a substantially vertical orientation; locating an expandable structure ( 22 ) adjacent the wind turbine blade; deploying the expandable structure ( 22 ) about the blade ( 14 ) such that the expandable structure ( 22 ) defines an elongated treatment zone ( 32 ) which receives at least part of the blade ( 14 ); and applying surface treatment to the surface of the blade ( 14 ) using the expandable structure ( 22 )

Claim (Index 13):
A method for treating a wind turbine blade including:\n positioning a wind turbine blade in a substantially vertical orientation; locating an expandable structure adjacent the wind turbine blade wherein the expandable structure comprises an inflatable structure; deploying the expandable structure about the blade such that the expandable structure defines an elongated treatment zone which receives at least part of the blade wherein deploying the expandable structure includes inflating the inflatable structure; and applying surface treatment to the surface of the blade using the expandable structure.
