Helideck Mesh is a type of safety net that is specifically designed for use on offshore helicopter landing decks. It is typically made from stainless steel wire cable and tube framework, and is extremely resistant to oxidation, even in harsh offshore conditions.

The primary purpose of Helideck Mesh is to provide a perimeter net around the helicopter landing deck, which helps to prevent personnel and equipment from falling off the deck during landing or takeoff. The mesh is also designed to distribute any weight or impact from the helicopter, helping to reduce the risk of damage to the deck or the surrounding structures.

One of the key advantages of Helideck Mesh is its durability. Unlike some other types of safety nets that are made from synthetic materials, Helideck Mesh is resistant to burning, melting, and deterioration due to exposure to UV rays or bird guano. It can also last for up to 30 years with proper maintenance.

Helideck Mesh is typically lightweight and pre-fabricated, which makes it easy to install without the need for scaffolding. All of the necessary components and tools are usually provided with the mesh, and it can be customized to fit any size or shape of deck.

Why Choose Us

Our company is a leading manufacturer of the CAP 437 Helideck Safety Net, which is made using high-quality AISI stainless steel cable mesh. This safety net is specifically designed to provide perimeter safety for offshore helicopter landing decks.

The BMP Helideck Safety Netting is another product we offer, which is made from 316 Stainless Steel Wire Cable & Tube Framework. This fencing system is highly resistant to oxidation, making it ideal for use in tough offshore conditions.

While our Helideck Mesh is an excellent safety net for offshore helicopter landing deck perimeter structures, we want to make it clear that it is not suitable for anti-skid helicopter landing deck net applications. We recommend that you consider other versions of our products that are specifically designed for anti-skid applications to ensure maximum safety and functionality.

There are several advantages to using stainless steel safety helideck cable mesh compared to other safety net options:

1. Durability: The stainless steel material used in our helideck safety mesh is highly resistant to corrosion and can withstand exposure to UV rays and bird guano, making it a durable and long-lasting option.

2. Safety: Unlike synthetic rope or webbing, our helideck safety mesh will not burn or melt, providing a safe option for helicopter landing decks.

3. Cost-effective: With up to 30 years of service life, our helideck safety mesh can outlast the facility's lifespan and avoid the repeated costly installations of inferior safety net systems.

4. Lightweight and easy to install: Our safety net panels are lightweight, pre-fabricated to any shape or size, and can be installed without the need for a scaffold. All components and tools needed for installation are provided with the delivery of the safety net panels.

5. Complete package: We supply all materials and tools needed for installation with the delivery of the safety net panels, making it a hassle-free and convenient option for our customers.

High Quality Supplied 

At Helideck Mesh, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality products and materials. To ensure this, we undertake extensive material testing through third-party PMI (Positive Materials Identification) using a spectrometer for every project. This testing verifies the manufacturer's mill and material certificates, and all relevant documentation and certificates are compiled in a job-specific MDR (Manufacturer's Data Report) and supplied on completion of the job.

We also offer various options to meet our clients' preferences, such as manufacturing helideck mesh with AISI Stainless steel joiners & terminations. Our helideck mesh is typically installed by the facility's maintenance crew, but we can also provide a specialist crew if required or preferred.

By choosing Helideck Mesh, our clients can have peace of mind knowing that they are getting a high-quality product with reliable installation options.

Standards Helideck Mesh:

• Helideck Mesh has undergone rigorous drop/impact testing under the supervision of DNV (Det Norske Veritas) and exceeds the testing requirements of British CAA CAP437 (latest release December 2008) Offshore Helicopter Landing Areas, Safety Nets and Oil & Gas UK - Helideck Perimeter Safety Nets - Issue 2 - March 2008.
• Drop Load Test as per CAP 437 standard
• AISI316 stainless steel grade
• Manufactured by a cable net factory with more than ten years of experience
• ISO certified factory
• Flexible and durable net system
• Professional exporter

These technical parameters ensure that Helideck Mesh is durable and reliable, providing a safe and secure solution for offshore helicopter landing deck perimeter structures.

Testing Break Strength

Helideck Mesh has been extensively tested for its breaking strength and has been found to exceed the minimum requirements set by regulatory standards. The breaking strength of the mesh depends on various factors such as the diameter of the wire, the size of the diamond hole, and the size of the tube frame. Typically, the wire used in the mesh is AISI316 stainless steel grade, which has high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance.

To ensure the quality and strength of Helideck Mesh, it undergoes rigorous testing, including drop/impact testing under the supervision of DNV (Det Norske Veritas), which is an independent testing and certification body. The mesh has been found to exceed the testing requirements of British CAA CAP437 and Oil & Gas UK - Helideck Perimeter Safety Nets. The mesh is also tested for its breaking strength in the manufacturing process and is supplied with a Manufacturer's Data Report that includes all relevant documentation and certificates.
