NES Continues Overhead Survey Project

NES Continues Overhead Survey Project

Nashville, Tenn. – Nashville Electric Service (NES) will continue to survey transmission lines both on the ground and from the air. Beginning Tuesday, June 26 through July 6, a helicopter will fly overhead between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. This is a continuation of the flights that were conducted last month. The survey will assist NES in determining the need for possible system improvements. Weather permitting, the helicopter will fly approximately one-thousand feet above ground to allow cameras on the aircraft to inspect and capture data along the transmission system across NES 700 square mile service area. Every attempt will be made to keep the noise level and distractions to a minimum. Nashville Electric Service is one of the 12 largest public electric utilities in the nation, distributing energy to more than 360,000 customers in Middle Tennessee.
