Services

The ground infrastructure requirements for Vertiports are not dissimilar to those currently required for helicopter landing areas sited on offices, hospitals, superyachts, or offshore rigs. With the experience and expertise of our Helidecks team we are well placed to offer analysis and assurance for Vertiport landing areas.

The Safeguard Vertiports team has over 60 years of aviation experience gained from backgrounds in military and commercial aviation, and we routinely work with clients to analyse their helideck and heliport designs for certification.

Our experience in this specialist area means we are already familiar with the need to consider and assess several critical factors such as the deck loading, air flow disruption and the location of the take-off/landing area.

Safeguard Vertiports are a specialist organisation working towards a global standard for Vertiport Certification. This will fall in line with the Rules and Regulations laid down by the CAA and EASA. Engagement with us at the earliest opportunity will increase the likelihood of gaining certification and operational capability.

We provide expert consultancy for Vertiports in the following key areas:

  • Vertiport design analysis and assurance

    • Landing area dimensions, markings and obstructions

    • Access and Egress points
