AERIAL CONSTRUCTION
Aerial construction has many advantages over the use of crane services, both in manpower savings and bottom line costs.
Utilizing a helicopter eliminates the setup and tear down costs of employing a conventional crane. Helicopters enable contractors to work quickly and safely around conveyors, air conditioning housings, chillers, towers, etc. The traditional problems of cranes not having enough 'boom' to reach into expansive rooftops are no longer an issue.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
National Helicopters was chosen over many companies to provide the Greater Toronto Area's first dedicated policing helicopter. This service was provided for the York and Durham Regional Police Services in a ground breaking, six month joint operation in 1999. Following a very successful trial period within both services, Durham Regional Police chose to continue utilization of "Air 1" for it's positive results in crime fighting. In 2003, National Helicopters was again chosen to provide service for the York Regional Police Air Support Unit's "Air 2". At present, National continues to provide service to the Durham Regional Police Services.
