Helicopter patrols inspect Canberra's overhead powerlines

摘要

ActewAGL carried out a series of helicopter patrols in December as part of its vegetation management and asset management programs. The inspections covered all suburbs of Canberra, including Weston Creek and Belconnen, looking primarily for vegetation encroaching on power lines. ActewAGL general manager network services Robert Atkin said the patrols were necessary to ensure the network didn't contribute to catastrophic bushfire conditions in neighbouring states.
