Workers At Grand Coulee Dam Use Helicopters For Construction

Workers At Grand Coulee Dam Use Helicopters For Construction



GRAND COULEE, Wash. - The Bureau of Reclamations is in the middle of replacing cables with overhead power lines at the Grand Coulee Dam.
To do that, they have to string the new cables from the dam using helicopters.
The helicopters will string 54 conductor lines from the dam to six towers.
The old transmission cables are being replaced because of the risk of fire damage, among other threats.
The Bureau hired Wilson Construction for the project.
According to Chad Devine, the general foreman of this project, they are scheduled to finish the project by December.
