Mitigating the Risks of Spinning Loads in Helicopter and Crane Lifts
Spinning loads in helicopter and crane lifts can pose significant risks to personnel, equipment, and the environment. A spinning load occurs when the load rotates or twists on its axis during the lift, often caused by an unbalanced load or improper rigging. These loads can cause the aircraft to become unstable, the load to collide with objects or personnel, and …
The Advantages of LiDAR Surveys by Helicopter
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology is used to produce high-resolution maps and 3D models of the earth’s surface. This technology sends laser pulses to the ground and measures the time it takes for the laser light to bounce back, creating a high-resolution map of the surface. LiDAR surveys are used in a variety of applications, including mapping, archaeology, forestry, …
