Helicopter Construction Operations
ARC specializes in helicopter-supported construction operations, including utility and electrical transmission projects, with critical experience in job execution, assessment, and planning to address the unique challenges of aerial heavy-lift and light helicopter tasks.
Risks Associated with Operations:
• High-altitude and confined-space hazards, such as wire strikes or load instability, increasing accident potential during lifts.
• Environmental factors like winds, high density altitude, or terrain obstacles in remote locations, leading to equipment damage or worker injuries.
• Coordination failures between ground crews and pilots, exacerbating risks in dynamic construction sites.
• Congested urban terrains increasing noise and safety related complaints.
Helicopter Construction Training:
• Conduct scenario-based training on airframe-specific handling, such as SK-64 or CH-47 for heavy lifts, focusing on load dynamics and emergency releases.
• Emphasize pre-flight briefings and post-operation debriefs to refine techniques in austere construction environments.
• Simulate high-risk lifts to build pilot proficiency in wind-affected maneuvers.
Goal of ARC :
• Compliance with OSHA 1926.551 for helicopter cranes, including FAA coordination for aviation-specific rules involving Part 133 congested area plans.
• Adherence to NWCG Standards for Helicopter Operations (PMS 510) for interagency cost-efficient practices.
• Alignment with G+ Offshore Wind guidelines for health and safety in helicopter-supported construction.
