The UAS (300) and mobile winch (100) are operated to deliver and install the first line section (200) to a first plurality of transmission towers (700) until the UAS reaches a second staging point. The mobile winch (100) and UAS (300) are moved to a further staging point, spaced from the second staging point by a further plurality of the transmission towers (702). The UAS (300) and mobile winch (100) are operated to deliver and install the second line section (202) to a further plurality of transmission towers (702) until the UAS reaches the second staging point. Finally, the first line section (200) is connected to the second line section (202).
