AERIAL SAW OPERATIONS
Please be advised that on April 1, 2023, weather permitting, Aerial Solutions, Inc will be mobilizing to the Met-Ed, York area and will be conducting Aerial Saw Operations. Aerial Saw Operations are scheduled March through December, covering selective Transmission facilities system-wide annually. The helicopter has a saw consisting of multiple 24-inch rotary blades powered by a motor suspended on a vertical boom beneath it. As the helicopter flies slowly along the right-of-way, the aerial saw cuts and trims trees and other vegetation.
This video is an example of how this is accomplished.
