Movement of building materials and workers to construction sites: Helicopters can swiftly transport construction materials and workers to construction sites, saving time and overcoming logistical challenges.

Powerline control: Helicopters can be used for monitoring and maintaining powerlines, including inspections, repairs, and installation of equipment.
