Our Helicopter Unit is operated by a staff of five pilots, five observers and three maintenance engineers. Under the charge of Accountable Manager Robin Tutcher, the team operates out of a specially constructed hangar and offices at Bristol Airport.
Helicopters are used for much more than line patrolling. The machines are used effectively in construction, delivering poles and even heavier loads to inaccessible areas.
All five helicopters have recently been modified to install state of the art sensing equipment producing an entirely unique system which provides real-time visual inspection, non-visual spectrum inspection and LiDAR capture all on one flight. And that is just the beginning.
This interactive resource will help you explore our distinctive and well-loved helicopter. Find out what everything is and how it helps us support and protect the power network.
If you have any queries, you can get in touch by calling or emailing and one of the team will get back to you.
