powerline construction Brisbane/Gateway bridge
Was just wondering what operator was stringing the powerlines near the Gateway Bridge in Brisbane this morning (3/7/05). White AS350(B??). Unable to read the Rego.
First time I have seen this type of work `up close` and from where I was sitting looks like there are lots of issues to consider to ensure a safe and efficient job.
The pilot was draging/unreeling the wire from a ground source (out of view to me). Although tracking sideways at a very slow rate the heli still had a considerable lateral rotation about the longitudinal axis. Impressive to watch.
Any comments or stories from the pilots out there who have been involved in this sort of work?
