High powered service
Foreigners often complain that self-service laundries are virtually non-existent, but if you want to order your groceries via the internet or have your shirts laundered, ironed and delivered to your door, then you can almost have it all. And in a few months, should you happen to require your high-voltage lines inspected from the air, then simply pick up your phone.
If finding the right niche in the market is the key to success, then the Haverfield Corporation has achieved a high score. This Florida-based company, which wants to site its European base in Poland, specializes in the inspection and maintenance of electric lines, doing most of the work from helicopters floating just next to wires. Haverfield says its significant money and time savings are achieved thanks to this unconventional method-a year-long operation can be done in two months using the airborne crews. Helicopter services are particularly useful in mountainous terrain.
From the Polish perspective, the company's plans are a positive sign. The list of locally engaged staff wouldn't go into the hundreds, but Haverfield's associates intend to hire Polish pilots and engineers. The company is considering enlarging its fleet with the light Polish SW 4 helicopter, produced by PZL Świdnik. The high-flying plans, however, are dependent on getting the green light form the Civil Aviation Office.
