What types of bird diverters are commonly used, and how are they installed?
2025-08-12The market offers several types of bird diverters, each designed for specific applications and environmental conditions. Common types include:
-
Spiral or Helical Diverters: These are rigid, corkscrew-shaped devices made of PVC that are wrapped around the conductor. They are lightweight and easy to install.
-
Swinging or Flapper Diverters: These typically feature a reflective or brightly colored body with a clamp that attaches to the line, allowing the body to swing and flutter in the wind.
-
Marking Spheres: Larger, spherical markers are often used on shield wires or in areas with high migratory bird traffic to provide a highly visible object that is easily seen from a distance.
Our bird diverters are designed for easy and safe installation, often using a hot stick, which allows crews to install them on energized lines from the ground or a bucket truck, minimizing downtime and ensuring worker safety.
