SAN GERMAN, PUERTO RICO-- A helicopter delivers a pole to a site so it could be secured into place in San German, Puerto Rico. The helicopter made several passes to tow its feeder ropes, between the poles so that the three strands of line, known as “conductor,” could be winched onto the line and secured.
“The helicopter pulls distribution lines over difficult terrain to avoid snagging branches and breaking as they place power lines from one pole to the next," said Army Capt.Ryan Alarcon, the deputy area engineer of the USACE Aguadilla Area Office.
