NOTTINGHAM, MD—BGE will be using an utility helicopter contractor to perform work and inspect electric transmission structures along the right of way this week. The hours of operation will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., September 22 – 28, according to Councilman David Marks.
Area residents and motorists may see the helicopter hovering near the flight path below. BGE is working to minimize disruption from the helicopter; however, motorists and passersby are advised to use caution in the vicinity of the work and maintain focus on traffic.
The helicopter will be used to photograph BGE electric assets. The helicopter provides an aerial perspective on equipment and allows BGE to inspect the system more efficiently than using ground inspections alone.
The helicopter work area can be viewed in the graphic below.
