Energy\u2019s pre-summer bushfire preparations.<br>\u201cWe\u2019ll inspect 163,000 power poles in bushfire prone areas this year to keep the community safe and the network reliable over summer,\u201d said Endeavour Energy\u2019s General Manager Operations Scott Ryan.<br>\u201cAerial patrols provide a platform for a very thorough examination of the condition of the hardware on the top of poles or where trees are too close to powerlines.<br>\u201cBy undertaking the inspections now, we can efficiently program maintenance to be completed ahead of the upcoming bushfire season.\u201d<br>Mr Ryan said the patrols would be undertaken by helicopters flying between 200 and 400 metres above the ground at a speed of about 40 kilometres per hour.<br>\u201cThe helicopters can be identified by signage underneath saying \u201cPower Line Patrol\u201d as well as having \u201cEndeavour Energy Contractor\u201d on the side of their fuselage.<br>\u201cThe helicopters are fitted with light detection and ranging technology and take high-resolution photographs of the tops of poles, which can be reviewed in detail after the patrol has been flown.,\u201d Mr Ryan said.<br>\u201cBy completing the patrols from the air, we get a more thorough inspection of the condition of the hardware at the top of poles and can efficiently inspect powerlines inaccessible to vehicles.\u201d<br>Mr Ryan said Endeavour Energy had employed measures to minimise the noise impacting customers and the community.<br>\u201cFarmers, animal breeders and other customers concerned about the noise from the helicopters can receive advance notice to be able move animals away from the patrols near their properties.<br>\u201cPlease call us on 133 718 if you would like to be added to our database where customers who receive prior notification ahead of patrols being flown near their property.\u201d <br>More information about when and where helicopter patrols will be undertaken is available at <a
