The Helifor logging operation on Vancouver Island is a massive logistical challenge, and it all depends on the Boeing 107 Vertol heavy-lift helicopter. The prime cedar trees are on isolated, mountainous islands without so much as a dirt track, so the lumberjacks have to fly to work, and the helicopters have to haul the 8000lb logs to barges waiting offshore.
The Moncrieff Drilling rig has to batter its way through some of the hardest stone on the planet for a dedicated team of linemen to bring power to the remote Indian community of Slate Falls in Canada’s frozen north.
