ScottishPower Renewables required the supply and installation of Transformer area air filters, HTK blanking panels, dehumidifiers and electrical supply socket.
Which, when combined, controls humidity in the nacelles across the Gamesa G8X Turbines at Arecleoch and Mark Hill Windfarms.

“Bluscorpio is an approved contractor to SPR. Working with my team to design and manufacture a high-quality retrofit product. Which was delivered within time and on budget. Always ensuring the highest health & safety standards were adhered to.”
Mitch Rankin, Senior Mechanical Engineer.
There isn’t one particular way we solve problems; we are a team of free thinkers. Looking at problems from everyone’s perspective.
‘The best solutions come from collaboration.’ Jim McInnes, Director.
RETROFIT ENGINEERING DESIGN
Bluscorpio designed and manufactured the kits for 84 turbines. Above all, we were required to close off air vents to prevent or reduce humid parasitic airflow, which was contributing to high humidity in the nacelle. The following elements completed this project:
- Sourcing and applying bespoke materials.
- Prototype test and install.
- Specialised manufacturing.
- Verification of safe load calculations.
ASSET LIFE EXTENSION
Undoubtedly, at Bluscorpio, we recognise the need for solutions to help extend the life of a turbine. These include but are not limited to:
- Bespoke retrofit design and manufacture.
- Bolt torque and tension services.
- Internal and external remedial works.
- Asset life extension scopes.
- Reverse engineering.
Investing in your assets:
- Optimize wind-power generation.
- Turbine service life extended, resulting in optimized availability.
- Reducing critical failures.
