Helicopters also play a critical role in emergency response and maintenance. In the aftermath of natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or wildfires, energy infrastructure often sustains significant damage. Helicopters can swiftly transport repair crews, tools, and replacement parts to affected areas, enabling quicker restoration of power and services.
Moreover, helicopters are used to perform live-line maintenance on high- voltage power lines. This specialized work requires skilled technicians who are transported by helicopter to the power lines, where they conduct repairs while the lines remain energized. This method ensures uninterrupted power supply while addressing maintenance needs.
