Aerial Spraying

Aerial
Spraying

Heliventures can accommodate all your spraying needs from liquid fertiliser through to brush weed and forestry applications. The greater mobility achievable with rotorcraft enables us to tackle difficult terrain and reach locations that fixed wing aircraft and ground rigs cannot. We use precision Tabula GPS technology which allows us to map each job and provide proof of placement to our clients.

We are able to perform full and half boom spraying to enable the treatment of sensitive boundaries.

We are one of few NZ operators experienced in Aerial Aquatic Weed Spraying, from large national lake and river projects, to private landowner irrigations ponds. We are able to perform this work in our twin engine helicopter if required by the client for an added safety margin, or a single engine machine.

Our helicopters are supported by skilled ground crew, Isuzu trucks fitted with a 1,200L fuel cell and custom built spray trailers used for mixing and supplying the helicopter. These trailers ensure maximum efficiency and contained mixing of chemicals.

Year Round Aerial Support

Proof of Placement

We use an aerial guidance system to deliver proof of placement data. This model features improved connection speeds for downloading job and shape files and prescription maps.

Tabula is a cloud based job management system which allows us to create maps of the areas you need maintained, mark out hazards and assign job details.

Data is collected by Tabula and stored online so you can view job completion data straight away.

Growsafe Certified

The Growsafe course covers the safe handling of agrichemicals, storage and disposal to support aerial operations.

Agrichemicals are an important part of our production systems, but we are increasingly being questioned about the use of agrichemicals on food, and in the environment. If we want to maintain the ability to use agrichemicals in a practical way, then we all need to do our bit to illustrate that we are using them in a safe and responsible manner.
