HELINEST
helicopter landing system
OVERVIEW
The use of helicopters as a mean of transport in medium and long distances is becoming more and more urgent in several parts of the world and mainly in the industrial and oil fields.
The use of helicopters is nonetheless limited by the lack of infrastructures as heliports and helipads that can guarantee high safety standards.
Since the beginning of helicopter operations, users have been plagued by accidents due to FOD even if helicopters could land everywhere. Burocracy and environmental issues have slowed down the development of this kind of infrastructures.
HeliNest® is the answer. It is a modular helicopter landing system projected, designed and implemented by Elisicilia thanks to its know-how in the field of helicopter transport.
WHAT ABOUT
HeliNest® is a modular landing system for helicopters that gives the possibility, in a few days and with the aid of a few skilled workers, to develop rigid continuous surfaces suitable as helipads.
HeliNest® stems from the words “Helicopter” and “Nest” to show how safe the system is for the landing, the stop and the take-off of helicopters.
HeliNest® is a great alternative to concrete or asphalt and it is specifically designed for soil applications.
