Some offshore turbine companies have developed a lift that attaches external to the base and carries people up. There’s a lot of interesting technology in the space - the maintenance cost is the most difficult (at least, in my experience) so there’s lots of research and innovation happening to lower that cost. When I stopped working with them, the company I worked for was using drones to take high res images of turbine blades to better plan for what to work on, rather than just climbing up and looking.
