NV Energy works from the air, carries out power pole deliveries near Carson City, US-50 Spooner
NV Energy is replacing power lines across the Sierra. These pictures were captured Wednesday on Timberline Drive in Carson City, just west of Western Nevada College, but there is another effort going on to the south where Highway 50 goes over Spooner Summit.
This helicopter is used to deliver the poles to their new locations and another helicopter is used to string the wires. By using helicopters for these operations the lines can be replaced quickly and with the least amount of impact on the environment.
