A Decommissioned Wind Turbine Blade Turned into a Bicycle Shelter
A research installation in the form of a bicycle shelter, constructed from a decommissioned wind turbine blade and innovative concrete incorporating… ground blade fragments, has been erected on the campus of Gdańsk University of Technology. This is the outcome of a project carried out at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering in collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture. The researchers are currently working on a pedestrian bridge span made from this novel material.
– The service life of wind turbine blades is approximately 20–25 years. After that, they are most often sent to landfills or buried underground. Other disposal methods are also employed, such as pyrolysis – thermal decomposition at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen – or solvolysis, which involves dissolving materials in appropriate solvents. However, these methods are relatively energy-intensive. Therefore, we proposed a solution that utilizes the natural load-bearing capacity of the blade – says Prof.
