Abstract

According to an aspect of the invention there is provided a method of making a mould assembly for a wind turbine blade half shell. The method comprises providing an elongate mould plug at a first location. The mould plug has a profile corresponding to part of a profile of a wind turbine blade half shell. The method further comprises forming a mould skin section on the mould plug. The method comprises providing a frame structure on top of the mould skin section on the plug and attaching the frame structure to the mould skin section to form a sub-assembly comprising the mould skin section and the frame structure. The method further comprises removing the sub-assembly from the mould plug and transporting the sub-assembly from the first location to a blade manufacturing facility. The method further comprises arranging the sub-assembly end to end with one or more further sub-assemblies at the blade manufacturing facility to form a mould assembly for a wind turbine blade half shell having a first geometry.
