Marking of aviation obstacles - Wind turbine
About this service:
We provide installation of reflective marking tape on wind turbines in accordance with requirements from the Civil Aviation Authority for marking aviation obstacles.
In collaboration with pilot customer, Civil Aviation Authority and material manufacturer We have developed a method and solution that meets all current requirements for marking wind turbines. The solution has been developed with a focus on long life, minimal maintenance requirements and a visual result that ensures both safety and aesthetics.
- The marking tapes are produced by 3M™ Diamond Grade™ Sheeting Series 4090 (4083 Yellow-Green) – a high-performance retroreflective foil with documented durability from use on traffic signs, high-voltage masts and fjord spans in Norway, among other things. Tapes can be supplied in all pre-accepted colors.
- The installation is carried out by GWO certified access engineering personnel. The work method is proven and includes equipment that ensures efficient and safe implementation, as well as optimal utilization of available weather windows.
- We are also happy to assist with: consulting, design, planning and documentation/application to the Civil Aviation Authority.
Contact us for more information about the solution, method and implementation.

Frequently asked questions about Marking of aviation obstacles - Wind turbine
-
Do all turbines have to be labeled?
No, the Civil Aviation Authority can approve that only the wind turbines that make up the perimeter of the wind farm are marked. Application required -
Does it have to be light too?
Yes Wind turbines with a height of up to 150 meters must be marked with two medium intensity obstacle lights type B or C, placed on top of the nacelle. Read more at the Civil Aviation Authority for correct information. -
What about lights for those over 150m?
Wind turbines with a height of 150 meters and above must be marked with two high-intensity obstacle lights type B located at the top of the nacelle, and low-intensity obstacle lights type B at an intermediate level. -
