Transhield. The Shrinkable FabricTM for Wind Power Applications. Custom Fit Covers for Shipping/Transportation Transhield custom fit covers are a superior alternative to heavy, expensive tarps or conventional hand wrapping. Transhield is a unique combination of shrink wrap and fabric that provides premium protection for wrapping products for transportation or storage. This material is made into custom fit covers, tailored to fit your application. Transhield covers are easy to install and the added ability to shrink the cover allows for a tight fit, resulting in quality protection from the factory to the field for nacelles, tower sections, root ends, hubs, gearboxes, blades and other products. This results in a Patented shrinkable fabric offers three smoother transition from layers of protection during transportation Proud Member of AWEA factory to field. and storage.

windsystemsmag.com 71 Eric Laufer Q&A President, Laufer Wind LLC (70/7460-1K) does not mention radar-control. What is the current status regarding the system with the FAA? We believe the FAA is doing a fine job of balancing the needs of the wind industry with their principal mandate for aviation safety. They are reviewing draft language now. I hope the updated FAA Advisory Circular, which contains a new section on radar activated lighting called Aircraft Detection Systems, comes out by the end of 2013. Tell us about your company’s relationship with the wind energy industry in the development of this system? We are in communication with various obstruction light vendors so that the proper interfaces between their technologies and ours can be worked out to maximize safety and performance. We also speak with various turbine manufacturers to understand the best methods for in- Can you tell us a little tegration for wind farm deployments.
