Helicopter Working Construction

[Wyatt 545]

Don't usually see them moving equipment and containers around construction area. Can't be cheap.

Some years ago I watched two copters designed for lifting and carrying, and a work crew in action. They disassembled several Coast Guard towers in the ship channel. It was neat to see, the crew would hook the cables to a section of tower while the copter hovered above. Once the tower section was unbolted the copter would take off with it. They looked more like giant Dragon Flies than a normal helicopter.

I've been involved in a few jobs where copters were used to get RTUs on top of buildings. Always interesting.

Those "dragonflys" are Sikorsky Sky Cranes.

They used them to install the AC units on the mall on 290.
