Challenges

Extreme temperatures at the site, often exceeding 100°F, limited working hours and risked crew fatigue. Aurora implemented adaptive strategies including additional breaks, rotational crews, and night shifts to maintain productivity while protecting personnel health and safety.

Value to Client

The project provided the client with a cost-effective and reliable solution for removing heavy grease and oil buildup from wind turbine towers, significantly improving the overall appearance and condition of the site. The cleaning method developed by Aurora avoided wastewater discharge, ensuring compliance with environmental requirements, while completing each tower efficiently within 1–2 days. By implementing adaptive work strategies to mitigate the effects of extreme heat, the project maintained high productivity without compromising safety, leaving the client with a repeatable, practical solution that enhances operational standards and site aesthetics.
