helideck safety net
The stainless steel rope mesh can also be used for the safety mesh of offshore helideck. The purpose of installing a helideck safety net is to reduce the risk during helicopter landing and ensure the safety of helicopters and passengers. The rope helideck mesh is a stainless steel safety system specially manufactured for the surrounding structure of the helideck. It is a surrounded system for the landing deck of an offshore helicopter. But it is not suitable for anti-skid helicopter landing deck nets.
Features of Rope Helideck safety net mesh
- High strength
- The stainless steel rope mesh has a high strength to withstand heavy impact.
- High flexibility
- The stainless steel mesh openings are adjustable following the various requirement. The rope Helideck mesh is light in weight and easily installed.
- Resistant to rust and corrosion
- The superior stainless steel material is resistant to rust and corrosion. It is pretty suitable for the offshore helideck exposed to the sun and humid environment for a long time.
- Maintenance-free and Prolonged service life
- The stainless steel rope mesh doesn’t require any maintenance, and the service life could reach 30 years.
Safety on offshore helidecks is a critical issue. Rope helideck mesh is developed to reduce the accident risk and ensure the safety of offshore helicopter passengers. Then what is rope helideck mesh? Rope helideck mesh is a stainless steel safety net system surrounded by structures of offshore helicopter landing deck. However, rope helideck mesh cannot be used for an anti-skid helicopter landing deck net.
