Aerial Utility Patrols

CBH Plus, Inc., patrols over 190,000 miles of pipeline and power lines per year. CBH serves a number of utility companies by providing them comprehensive aerial patrol programs. We fly aerial patrols in ten states and are able to provide basic patrols or patrols with advanced data gathering and analyzing capabilities. We offer both turbine and piston helicopter services nationwide. Our current helicopter inventory includes the following:
Bell 206 B3 Jet Ranger

We are able to offer technologically advanced aerial patrols using LIDAR, Corona, Infra-Red and Daytime Television Video. We specialize in low altitude corridor operations. Some uses of our equipment are LIDAR mapping, Pipeline class density studies, Coastal erosion studies and Power line planning and line sag determination.

By flying slower, lower, and with added visibility in the helicopter, you can see more problematic situations before they turn into costly power outages or pipeline leaks. On gas pipelines, the helicopter can land and stop contractors who are digging too close to the pipeline, thus avoiding a very dangerous situation and costly outages.

Please see our Video Presentations about the wide breadth of services provided by CBH Plus. Also see our Comprehensive Inspections gallery page. These inspections are very detailed, and up close - sometimes a hands on type of inspection, when small defects in the conductor and associated hardware is detected and reported on
