Transportation helicopters

The differences in sampling techniques between liquid and solid and between abiotic and biotic samples need to be clearly determined by the concentration type and level (major, minor, trace and ultratrace for total and speciation analysis) of analytes to be assessed (31). There is a severe contamination risk during collection from sampling tools, means of transport (helicopters, boats, cars, etc.), and handling operations carried out without using any protection (gloves, masks, boots and decontaminated overalls). Consequently, it is important to develop... 

For a typical operation in the North Sea, the transport of personnel to and from the facilities is by helicopter. The transport of materials is normally by supply boat. 

Manor Way, A1014 provides road access to the mainland a rail line for freight nms fmiii the main line through the Shell UK Oil refinery to Thames Haven, and to the Mobil Oil disiribution terminal at Coi-yton. A deep water channel provides access to the ten jetties of the two refineries. The control room and pumping station for the U.K. oil pipeline is located at Coryton. Oil products are transported by pipeline from Texaco Ltd on Canvey Island and from the two oil refineries ou the mainland Helicopters from the site landing pad. survey the pprelines.

Note Bibliography item (2), Method 514.1, Vibration , specifies tests for equipment which may be used in a variety of military applications. The equipment is categorized according to the vehicle in which it will be installed or transported as follows (a) equipment installed in airplanes and helicopters (b) equipment... 

The Dart is designed to attack tanks. It is capable of pinpoint accuracy due to its comm and-guided system which is accomplished by means of trailing wires which unwind from the missile. The Dart missile can be fired from a field launcher, an armored transport jeep, or a helicopter...

The Swedish National Defence Research Institute (FOA), which from 1978 until 1983 was connected to the SSI, runs a system of high-volume aerosol samplers that normally detects very small amounts of radionuclides by high-resolution gamma spectrometry. The FOA also has access to army airplanes and helicopters to take air samples at different heights, to record measurements from the air, and to transport equipment and personnel to remote areas quickly to perform in situ measurements with portable germanium detectors. At the SSI, routine measurements of milk were run before the Chernobyl accident. Routine programs concerning environmental surveillance of nuclear power plants currently exist. 

Across a service road, conical mills blend feed for beef cattle, fattening in multilevel pens that conserve ground space. Tubes carry the feed to be mechanically distributed. A central elevator transports the cattle up and down, while a tubular side drain flushes wastes to be broken down for fertilizer. Beside the farther pen, a processing plant packs beef into cylinders for shipment to market by helicopter and mono-rail. Illuminated plastic domes provide controlled environments for growing high-value crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, and celery. Near a distant lake and recreation area, a pumping station supplies water for the vast operation."... 

When personnel are transported to exploration sites by helicopter or airplane, landing strips and pads should be carefully selected to avoid damage to sensitive habitat and endangered or threatened species. 

The U.S. Navy is in the final stages of designing a strategic sealift ship to transport already-fueled vehicles—armored tanks, tanker trucks, other trucks of various sizes, trailers, jeeps, and helicopters. Prefueling will eliminate the need for fueling at docking and will permit deployment of the vehicles as soon as they are unloaded from the ship. All the military vehicles transported on the ship are designed to use jet-propulsion (JP) fuels JP-5 or JP-8 to avoid the need for different fuels. Diesel fuel marine (DFM) is used to operate the ship. 

Yet to be fully developed is what has been quaintly called Birdieback— the transportation of either containers or motor vehicles by helicopters or aircraft, effectuated by the Armed Forces during World War II. There is also commercial use of vanlike containers for air cargo. 

Mother Bob When the fossilized T. rex, nicknamed Bob, was recovered in 2003 from a remote section of Montana by paleontologists, the bones were encased in plaster for protection during transport. However, the bones and plaster weighed more than the helicopter could lift. So the paleontologists were forced to break the intact thighbone to move the dinosaur out of the remote area. Schweitzer took small fragments from the broken thighbone for further study. 

It includes two potential modes of transportation for off-site shipments of CWM (1) military aircraft and (2) truck. Choice of mode is based on distance to be transported and the quantity of CWM. Military aircraft is preferred, including both helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft. Helicopters are used if the distance is within the range of the helicopter without refueling or to move the CWM from the location where it is found to a military airfield for shipment by fixed-wing aircraft. 

Trucks could be used for transportation from the recovery site to a military airfield instead of helicopters. The Army plans also allow for trucks to be used for the entire distance from recovery site to the eventual treatment or storage facility, but only if air transportation to the site is not possible or practical.
