At the East Branch Dam in Wilcox, Pennsylvania (USACE Pittsburgh District), Alltech Engineering utilized a helicopter to pick hoists as part of a dam refurbishment project this summer. 

This valuable hydro resource on the East Branch Clarion River Lake is one of many nationwide that is managed by The Army Corps of Engineers, and serves many purposes including flood control.

Over the last few decades Alltech Engineering has completed over 100 dam rehabilitation projects, utilizing the skills of many of the best millwrights. The use of this unique rigging method demonstrates how ingenuity can keep critical infrastructure in useful working order for the next generation.
