Helicopters offer an efficient and safe service for powerline construction, patrols and maintenance. Their aerial perspective and maneuverability enable efficient inspections of circuits while their lifting capabilities facilitate transportation of heavy equipment, materials, and personnel for Human External Cargo. Safe access to hard-to-reach locations ensures work day efficiencies, reducing environmental risks and logistical challenges associated with ground-based mobilization. By choosing helicopters for your powerline construction projects, you can expect improved efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness, streamlining your operations and achieving better outcomes.
On demand passenger, crew and cargo transport assists in topographic mapping and vegetation analysis. Our aerial surveying services provide a cost-effective and efficient solution. Private transport is an additional service offer to move customers from one location to another in a timely manner and to avoid traffic.
Damage assessment and inspection of affected disaster areas with helicopters helps with aerial reconnaissance and emergency rescues. Acquisition and supervision of aerial support along with crew management of recovery teams is one of our talents in assisting state and local emergency services. Wreck-out and reconstruction of power lines and infrastructures with helicopters ensures utility services are restored in a timely manner.
Our Medium lift helicopter are specifically designed to handle large, heavy loads which offers substantial advantages across various heavy lift jobs. Equipped with powerful engines and advanced lifting capabilities, medium lift helicopters excel in transporting oversized cargo and executing complex construction tasks with ease. These helicopters facilitate precise placement of substantial objects, even in challenging or remote locations, streamlining operations and reducing project timelines. With their ability to operate in diverse weather conditions, terrains, and altitudes, heavy lift helicopters ensure minimal delays, maximum efficiency, and improved safety during critical operations.
Our fire fighting medium and light helicopters are fully equipped with the necessary buckets, baskets and long lines to support fire fighting operations. Our aircraft, pilots and mechanics are USFS carded and approved.
Our highly skilled team provides utility support services ranging from lead restoration to conductor installation.
Assist in collecting geomatics or other imagery by using our helicopters and UAVs. On demand passenger, crew and cargo transport.

Years Accident & Incident Free
A 6th blade to the main rotor system minimizes helicopter vibrations and reduces pilot and crew fatigue.
NOTAR systems eliminate crashes due to the tailrotor strikes or loss of tail rotor effectiveness.
The Coanda Effect provides tail boom lift and anti-torque -- reduceing the sensitivity to wind direction.
NOTAR-equipped helicopters are among the quietest certified helicopters available.
Sorenson 765kV East and West Transmission Project
Construct 2 new single circuit 765kV transmission lines. Each line will originate from tap points on the existing Dumont-Marysville 765kV line and will terminate at Sorenson Station. The Sorenson 765kV Extension, West line will be 6.46 miles long and will consist of 33 lattice towers. The Sorenson 765kV East line will be 8.16 miles long and will consist of 37 lattice towers.
Puerto Rico hurricane recovery efforts from March 2018 to Present
In February 2018, HELIUS joined the Puerto Rico Recovery Efforts to help restore power due to the hurricanes of 2017. HELIUS is assisting in building a solid energy grid with our MD 600’s and Robinson 44. We are honored to be a part of this major recovery project.
