Transport by helicopter

Examples of transport by helicopter

The transport of nets with helicopter requires an excellent coordination:
-   Preparation of nets’ widths on the ground
-   Coordination between the rope workers in the cliff and the pilot
-   Unrolling of nets from the top down so that rope workers are always working beneath a section of cliff that has already been covered, reducing the risk of debris above them being dislodged.
-   Fastening with adjacent net panels
