Aerial Power Line Inspections on Tap for Mansfield

Eversource Energy is currently conducting aerial inspections of high-voltage electrical equipment on rights of way throughout Connecticut.

And Mansfield is included in the operation.

The semiannual inspection is an "important part of the company’s ongoing commitment to providing reliable electric service," utility officials said.

The work involves the use of a helicopter equipped with heat-sensing, infrared scanning technology which can detect potential equipment issues before they occur, utility officials said.

The aerial inspections began Wednesday morning and are slated to continue through July 26, Utility officials said.

Weather permitting, flights will take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eversource officials said.
