Looks like AltaLink is taking a high-flying approach to keeping the lights on.
Between August 24th and 28, AltaLink will be conducting aerial patrols of its electric transmission facilities across the Foothills, including areas in and around Okotoks, High River, and Diamond Valley.
The helicopter patrols, weather permitting, will collect visual data of transmission lines and surrounding vegetation to help maintain the reliability of the grid through proactive maintenance.
AltaLink aims to minimize disruptions to residences, area users, livestock, and wildlife during the annual patrol.
