FortisBC says it has contracted a helicopter company to assess gas lines across the Capital Regional District this month.
The aerial inspection occurs each year to make sure that natural gas lines are safe and in working condition.
"As part of our integrity management program, we inspect sections [of] our gas transmission lines each year to detect small issues before they become larger problems," said FortisBC spokesperson Holly Harrison in a statement Monday. FortisBC has hired Talon Helicopters to conduct the aerial inspection, which uses LiDAR mapping of the gas lines.
The LiDAR mapping requires the heliports to fly at low altitudes, which has been approved by Transport Canada for the annual inspection, according to FortisBC.The inspections are scheduled to take place between May 1 and June 15 at 12 communities across the CRD. There's no exact dates for when helicopters will be in specific communities because the schedules can change depending on weather conditions and wildfires, according to FortisBC.
