Which helicopter type will operate on the helipad? Helipad size needs to be considered alongside the intended helicopter.
Can the building’s roof columns take the helicopter’s dynamic and static loads? Loading considerations are particularly important for existing buildings.
How will the helipad be supported, and how will loads be transferred into the building structure?
Consider how airflow around the building may affect the proposed helipad location.
Plan for maintenance access, particularly where the helipad extends beyond the building.
An elevated helipad’s safety case should consider the potential release of fuel during a helicopter crash and the risk to people in the helicopter, the building and the surrounding area.
Fire protection, drainage and escape routes need to be considered together. Explore the dedicated product pages for XE Enhanced Safety™ and DIFFS system information.
