Africa's electricity consumption is expected to grow at an average rate of 3.4 % per year over the period 2000 - 2020. The unpredictability of power supply is however one of the main drawbacks to economic growth.

MappingOur pilots and rigging crews have a great deal of experience performing rooftop installations under all types of conditions and situations. Precision slinging of HV air-conditioning units, generators, liquid containers, communications antennas and large, heavy equipment onto rooftops of high-rise buildings in built-up areas are regularly undertaken. Modern telecommunication networks are made up by a fibre optic cable backbone. To ensure safety to the installed cables and to achieve fast rates of installation, the preferred choice is to install the fibre optic cable onto existing overhead HV power lines that criss-cross the countryside.
Medical evacuation/patient transfers.
Aerial photography/air filming.
Fire fighting/suppression.
