Despite aftershocks, heavy rains, and damaged bridges and roads, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) pursued its restoration efforts in Negros island which was recently affected by an earthquake. By resorting to helicopters, motorcycles, and manual hauling of tower materials by linemen in areas inaccessible to line trucks, NGCP was able to restore power transmission service in the Negros subgrid of the Visayas at 1:56PM on February 11, 2012. In this photo, a NGCP helicopter hauls lightweight steel towers segments to be used as replacement of the affected structures along the Amlan-Bindoy-Guihulngan 69kV transmission line. NGCP, a privately owned company, will continue to go beyond limits to ensure the fast delivery of safe and reliable electricity to its customers. The company remains committed to fast-track similar restoration efforts during emergencies and improve services to power consumers. ###
