HELIPADS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

Building a helipad, or a vertiport, is definitely a factor that significantly increases the value of your property: it is therefore an investment with a high potential return. This new opportunity is now much more accessible than in the past, especially thanks to the spread of new flying cars and the presence of specialized operators on the market such as FEC heliports.

When you make an important decision, such as building a heliport on your own land, it is obvious that doubts and questions arise. What is the best place to build it, on the ground or on the building? Can I put a helipad in elevation over an inhabited neighborhood? Or on an offshore platform? How big should the landing area be? How much space do I need to be in compliance with FAA regulations and international standards? Who certifies this heliport? These are just a few of the hundreds of questions that the Aeroauto can find an answer to.

Landing a flying machine worth several hundred thousand dollars requires detailed planning, the only key to achieving the safest and most convenient solution for our customers.

Helipad Ground Construction

Most ground helipads are made out of concrete, but FEC has an option you may not have considered.

FEC Heliports has designed a great alternative to the typical concrete helipad.

Our HELOMAT is specifically designed for ground or retrofit applications. The 1" x 1' wide aluminum panels fit together in a tongue & groove fashion that makes installation a breeze. Not only will this pad never deteriorate the way a concrete pad will, but it can be moved as your facility expands. It has an internal cavity specifically designed for our state-of-the-art snowmelt equipment. If your current concrete pad is deteriorating, our HELOMAT can be put right over the top of your existing pad, providing you with a new low maintenance surface. Preparation for a new ground helipad with our HELOMAT is as simple as the compacted aggregate base that you would use for a concrete pad.

If you still prefer concrete, we can help make sure your design meets the requirements of the FAA’s Advisory Circular. We can also recommend the necessary lighting, fire suppression and paint markings to ensure a safe landing area for your pilots and patients. Contact us today for all of your heliport design needs!

Helipad Offshore Construction

Aluminum is perfect for a marine environment.

FEC Heliports has designed and installed many shipboard and offshore helipads.

Our reputation as a company that gets the job done in the healthcare and traditional helipad industry has helped us break into this challenging environment. Our aluminum helipads are an excellent choice for the type of extreme weather conditions that these helipads incur, while also providing better design options with our lightweight material. Retractable safety netting for shipboard applications is just another example of how our engineers continue to design beyond traditional industry standards.

Helicopter usage offshore, and in support of the shipboard industry, has been an important safety feature for 40+ years. As the industry has grown and explorations have gone farther offshore the design of safe landing pads has become a more complex part of the design process. During this time the FAA, API, ICAO, CAP 437 and the helicopter operators have developed an extensive set of design criteria that deals with every type of helipad design for oil rigs and shipboard applications. Over the past 25 years FEC Heliports has grown along with this industry and has taken a leading role in helping to write and develop many of these design standards. Take advantage of our experience and FEC can do as much or as little of the helipad design that best fits your project. We will deal with sizing and locating the pad, design the safest ingress and egress flight paths, design the support structure, file the proper paperwork and make sure all the required safety items are included with your helidek design. This will allow you the additional time to focus on design aspects of your project that you know best! Below is a partial list of the things FEC Heliports can offer along with some additional items we hope will help you get started.

Helipad Portable Construction

Search and Rescue, Temporary Locations & VIP Event Services are just a few of the applications for our PortaPad.

Maybe you just need your helipad for a short duration, but you want to ensure the same amount of safety you get with a permanent solution.

The FEC Portapad is your answer! This product can be used for anything from special events to search and rescue. Made from our 6000 Series Aluminum, this helipad is a lifetime investment. Don't pour a concrete pad that will have to be destroyed when the job is done. Set up our Portapad and easily disassemble and store it for future use. It comes in two sizes and has adjustable legs to adapt to uneven terrain.
