Abstract
According to the present invention there is provided a mould for making a wind turbine blade shear web. The shear web comprises a longitudinally-extending web panel and a mounting flange extending along a longitudinal edge of the web panel and transverse to the web panel. The mounting flange comprises a first portion extending on a first side of the web panel and a second portion extending on a second side of the web panel. The mould comprises a longitudinally-extending main surface shaped to form the web panel, the main surface having a longitudinal edge. The mould further comprises a side surface arranged transverse to the main surface and extending downwards from the longitudinal edge of the main surface. The mould further comprises a base surface arranged transverse to the main surface and spaced from the side surface, the base surface having a first portion extending below the main surface to a first end of the base surface and a second portion extending above the main surface to a second end of the base surface. The first portion of the base surface is spaced from the side surface to define a mould cavity between the side surface and the first portion of the base surface, the…
