Electrical Services
Tasmanian Helicopters have invested heavily into specialised equipment and skills specifically for the electrical transmission industry and it is now a major part of our business operations. We understand the importance of reliability when it comes to critical infrastructure and this is why we operate all of our own equipment to ensure you can maintain your infrastructure to the highest operational standards.
Our highly skilled pilots undertake the following stringing, inspection and maintenance activities:
Powerline Stringing
The precision and versatility of helicopters makes them an ideal and efficient choice for the stringing of powerlines, particularly in remote or difficult to access areas.
We utilise our own Mack-Pull Line Haulage System, which has been specifically designed to make the stringing of powerline draw wire or conductors fast and easy.
A major advantage of the Mack-Pull system is it is mounted on the side of the Squirrel and does not require a large external weight between the helicopter and the draw line, which provides for a reduced operational weight and subsequent increased power margin available to the pilot.
