Met Ed, a First Energy Company, will be utilizing a contractor to perform vegetation maintenance on the transmission lines in the township and is tentatively scheduled to be conducted between April and October. Some of the work to be performed involves side-trimming trees at the edge of the Right-of-Way and will be performed utilizing a specially-equipped helicopter. The helicopter cuts side branches from the trees using a motor-powered saw with multiple 24-inch rotary blades, suspended on a boom beneath it. The benefits of using an aerial saw include eliminating the risk of injury to workers using bucket trucks or climbing trees near energized lines. The aerial saw can also be used in remote areas or place inaccessible to vehicles, protecting private land and roads from damage by heavy equipment making repeated trips during the course of the scheduled work.
Branches that fall onto access roads, maintained yard areas, agricultural fields or in streams during the aerial trimming operation will be cleaned up or moved to adjacent wooded areas by ground crews shortly after the trimming is performed. A ground crew will also identify and remove individual dead tress found along the Right-of-Way that may threaten the transmission line at a later date this year.
