Installing lighting poles with a helicopter. It makes it way more efficient than the traditional way with a truck. The helicopter just grabs the poles by the tethers and moves it carefully to the team already waiting to guide and lock it in position. The time it took to install all 12 or so poles was under 30 minutes. It’s incredible how efficiency is the top priority in this country, I love this so much!
PS: this minimum 200 character rule is so stupid!

My friend had his replacement windows and glass doors in his apartment installed with the help of a helicopter. Amazing to see how incredibly precise they have to be with hundreds of kilos of glass hanging from a wire as it’s installed in the middle of a tiered apartment complex. Definitely efficient when it works out. 👀
Looks perfectly normal to me, because I can’t see that there’s enough space for heavy equipment that’s why they do it from above.
POV: When your country’s salaries are so high that it becomes more cost effective to bring an actual f-ing helicopter in instead of using a lorry because you manage to save a few hours of work
Its the cheapest Option if you have to Do Just 1 or 2 “lifts”
I think what makes helicopter use economical or not, is just the density of helicopter jobs. While running a helicopter is outrageously expensive per hour, each individual lift is quite efficient, fast and affordable. If you combine many jobs into one flight it’s affordable, if you have to charter a helicopter and fly an hour to the job site, it’s going to be really expensive. And then once you have some jobs that just have to be done with helicopters e.g. in mountanous areas, then you have the helicopters anyway.
I even know someone who used helicopter transport to collect animals they had hunted if it was an inconvenient location.
