As cities grow and as transport needs change, innovative infrastructure solutions are becoming more important. The floating Helipad has revolutionised the industry. The floating helipads allow helicopters to take off and land on the water. They are an excellent alternative for landing in areas where space is limited. These helipads are also great for offshore operations and emergency services.
The floating helipad has become a reality with modular floating technology. This is a solution to urban and maritime transport.
A floating helipad is a specially designed platform that floats on water. The helipad is used for landing and taking off helicopters. It's constructed from lightweight materials that are strong and durable, such as mild steel, steel-reinforced HDPE cubes, concrete or reinforced composites.
Floating helipads are commonly found in coastal cities, islands and offshore industries. They can also be seen on luxury yachts, emergency services or marine hospitals.
Land for aviation infrastructure is expensive and difficult to acquire in many cities.
Floating helipads can be used in zones prone to disaster for rapid medical evacuation when there is flooding, hurricanes, or maritime accidents.
For industries like offshore construction, oil and gas and offshore construction, it can be ideal. Workers, scientists and equipment can be transported easily.
They provide VIP transportation to luxury yachts, island resorts and other destinations. Exclusive travel experiences are offered.
The helipads can be used for coastal defense, rescue missions, and strategic surveillance.
Mobility & Flexibility- Helipads can be repositioned easily to meet the needs of users, whether temporary or permanent.
Sustainability & Space Saving- They utilize surface water without damaging the natural ecosystem or taking valuable land space.
High Standards of Safety- Engineered with stabilisation technology, floating Helipads ensure safe landings in diverse water conditions.
Cost-Effective – Unlike traditional heliports that require large infrastructure investments for construction and maintenance, built and maintained with a lower price tag.
Customizable and Scalable Modular design allows extension to meet operational needs.
While floating helipads offer many advantages, they also present some challenges.
Weather and Water Conditions - Extreme weather conditions and high waves may impact operations, and require advanced stabilization mechanisms.
Approvals - Complying with Aviation & maritime regulations can be complex and take a long time.
Durability and Maintenance - Regular inspections and maintenance are important for maintaining functionality and safety.
