Aerial Herbicide Application

Above-Wire Specialists for Utility Vegetation Management

Industrial Helicopters delivers precision aerial herbicide application designed exclusively for utility right-of-way environments. We specialize in above-wire operations, applying herbicides from above energized infrastructure—an approach that requires advanced pilot skill, specialized equipment, and disciplined operating procedures.

We don’t spray crops—we operate above energized infrastructure.

Specialized Above-Wire Application

  • Application performed above energized transmission and distribution lines
  • Reduced risk of contact with wires, structures, and infrastructure
  • Designed for complex, obstacle-rich utility environments
  • Proven approach for safe, efficient right-of-way vegetation control

Precision Application Systems

Our aircraft are equipped with advanced spray technology to ensure consistent and accurate delivery across every acre.

  • Microfoil boom drift control systems with multiple nozzle configurations
  • Differential GPS with real-time guidance and swath tracking
  • Automated flow control to maintain precise application rates
  • Accurate mapping of boundaries, skips, and overlaps

These systems provide uniform application regardless of airspeed, improving coverage while minimizing drift and over-application.

Landowner Notification & Program Support

We support our utility partners with structured landowner notification processes aligned with program requirements.

  • Integration of utility-provided landowner data and notification workflows
  • Coordination of certified mailings and response tracking where required
  • Incorporation of landowner restrictions and opt-outs into final spray maps
  • Delivery of finalized KMZ and operational maps for field execution

Consistent, Scalable Execution

Application rates are controlled directly through onboard systems, allowing our pilots to deliver repeatable, high-quality results across large-scale utility programs.

Our standardized fleet and experienced crews enable efficient deployment across multiple states, supporting recurring vegetation management cycles for utility customers.
