Eversource to use helicopter for aerial inspections

Eversource Energy will be conducting aerial inspections of its transmission lines.  Spokesman Frank Poirot says the twice-a-year inspection conducted with a helicopter helps to identify issues before they become problems which effect customers. 

 

Eversource’s infrared inspections will take place next week in Fairfield and Litchfield counties, weather permitting, between 7am and 5pm.  A blue Jet Ranger helicopter with a silver stripe will be used.

 

Poirot says overhead inspections of equipment, often located upwards of 100 feet in the air, help engineers detect potential problems in advance.  He says that allows the company to schedule necessary maintenance and upgrades before reliability issues arise.
