Bird Control at Offshore Wind & Energy Facilities
Enhancing Offshore Wind Equipment Safety and Efficiency with Bird Deterrents
One major problem caused by birds at offshore wind equipment is the accumulation of bird droppings. Bird droppings can cause safety hazards by making surfaces slippery and hazardous for maintenance workers, and can create unsanitary conditions. Additionally, bird droppings can corrode metal surfaces, such as transition piece equipment, causing damage and reducing their lifespans.
Bird deterrents can be used to prevent birds from approaching offshore wind equipment. These deterrents can include visual and physical devices, such as BirdSpring, TowerGuard, Arc Nemesis, nets, and wire barriers that prevent birds from perching.
By using bird deterrents, operators of offshore wind equipment can help protect the efficiency and operational safety of the equipment, minimize the environmental impact on local bird populations, and reduce the costs associated with maintenance and repairs caused by bird-related damage.
