    SAN GERMAN, PUERTO RICO--The first few days of work on this line were spent clearing trees and dense vegetation in San German, Puerto Rico with chainsaws so that it could be energized in compliance with industry safety standards. USACE uses helicopters to place poles and electrical power lines in this mountain communityFeb. 6.

    A helicopter then delivered a pole to the site so it could be secured into place in San German, Puerto Rico. The helicopter made several passes to tow its feeder ropes, between the poles so that the three strands of line, known as “conductor,” could be winched onto the line and secured.USACE uses helicopters to place poles and electrical power lines in the mountain community Feb. 6.
