Company
Mission
We believe clients deserve safe, fast, reliable airborne utility services.
About Us
The roots of High Voltage Aviation stretch back to 1987, when Brian Parker helped launch the use of helicopters in transmission services—forever changing the way power lines were built and maintained. Over the next three decades, Brian, Richard DeMoss, and integral key leadership led and trained the teams at one of the first companies to offer aerial utility work, from energized live-line services to specialized inspection protocols still in use today.
In 2022, after the sale of that company and upon partnering with Ryker Holdings, Brian and Richard reassembled the core team of seasoned professionals to launch HVA: a new company built on hard-won experience, operational excellence, and expanded air and ground utility construction services
