How to Evacuate a Wind Tower

Posted on March 14, 2012 by admin

In order to work as a wind tower technician, you have to be certified to be able to evacuate from the nacelle in case for whatever reason you can not escape down the main tower. Of course no one has ever had to do this within the company I’m working with (will remain unnamed) or in the history of modern wind towers. If there is any chance of a storm, no one climbs the tower. But, because by law we have to know how, we are certified before we are allowed to work full time as a technician. In this video you see one person above the hatch where he will repel out of the tower. Normally, he would only be attached to the rope his hand is on. Because this is practice, belaying is used as a backup (safety first!). The person to the left in the video is the belayer. I’m the person videotaping the exercise.
