Helideck Inspection and Certification

Preparation: Before the inspection, we gather all relevant documentation, such as helideck design specifications, maintenance records, and any previous inspection reports. We then ensure that the inspection is planned to take place during favourable weather conditions.

Visual Inspection: We inspect the helideck visually for any signs of damage, wear and tear, corrosion, or foreign objects. This includes checking the landing area, perimeter safety netting or barriers, lighting systems, and any firefighting equipment.

Structural Integrity: We check the structural integrity of the helideck by examining the deck surface, support structure, and any anchor points, paying particular attention to observe any cracks, rust, deformation, or other signs of degradation.

Markings and Lighting: We ensure that all necessary markings, such as touchdown and lift-off area markings, are visible and accurate. We also check the lighting systems for proper functioning, including the approach and perimeter lights.

Safety Equipment: We verify the availability and functionality of safety equipment such as crash nets, fire extinguishers, emergency response kits, and communication systems. These safety equipment are crucial for responding to any emergencies during helicopter operations.

Regular Inspections: Helideck inspections should be conducted regularly according to established schedules and standards. The frequency of inspections can depend on factors like usage intensity, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements.

We at POD7EVEN will ensure that your helideck and associated facilities comply with relevant aviation and safety regulations issued by aviation authorities and industry standards.
