Explore our CE-certified, high-strength aluminum and stainless steel safety nets custom-tailored for offshore platforms, maritime vessels, and urban elevated helipads.
Elevated helipads represent critical components in modern urban architecture, offshore exploration, maritime rescue, and clinical healthcare systems. Unlike ground-level landing zones, an elevated helideck or rooftop helipad carries unique aerodynamical, load-bearing, and safety challenges. Among these safety parameters, the perimeter safety net is paramount. It is not merely a passive barrier but a highly engineered, dynamic energy absorption system designed to secure personnel, flight crews, and structural assets from catastrophic falls without posing an obstruction to helicopter rotors or flight maneuvers.
According to international regulations, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 14, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circulars (AC 150/5390-2C), and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) CAP 437 standards, a safety net must extend at least 1.5 meters outwards from the landing area. It should possess an upward slope of approximately 10 to 15 degrees, ensuring that any falling object or person is caught securely and guided inward, away from the structural edge. The materials utilized must withstand severe environmental fatigue, salt-spray corrosion, and heavy UV radiation while maintaining dynamic load resistance.
The selection of the physical framework and mesh fabric determines the life span and efficiency of the safety installation. Traditional galvanized steel nets degrade rapidly in maritime and highly polluted urban environments, requiring frequent inspections and replacement cycles. Advanced solutions leverage aerospace-grade aluminum profiles and marine-grade stainless steel cables to achieve a maintenance-free lifetime of over 25 years. Below is an engineering comparison of materials commonly used in high-risk zones:
| Material Parameter | Aerospace Aluminum (6xxx/7xxx) | Stainless Steel SUS316 Mesh | Galvanized Carbon Steel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | Outstanding (Self-passivating) | Excellent (High pitting resistance) | Poor (Requires coating maintenance) |
| Tensile Strength | 290 - 310 MPa | 500 - 700 MPa | 350 - 450 MPa |
| Weight Advantage | Ultra-lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³) | Moderate (~8.0 g/cm³) | Heavy (~7.8 g/cm³) |
| Dynamic Impact Absorption | High elasticity limits | Excellent shock attenuation | Rigid, low energy absorption |

We have obtained the “Special Aluminium Materials for Aerospace” Certificate, qualifying our engineering and metallurgical capabilities for military and specialized aerospace structural assignments.
We utilize high-quality Fenglu aluminum profiles. Extrusion lines from 800T to 20,000T support alloys 1xxx-7xxx, yielding parts up to 1.2m wide or 28m long with precision machining.
Our technicians hold 15+ years of design experience. We anticipate engineering bottlenecks, optimize physical load bearing, and translate ideas into robust, site-ready structural safety products.
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) systems, and urban air mobility networks expand, the requirements for physical structures at vertical ports and elevated helidecks are shifting. Safety nets are evolving from passive fall-arrest meshes to smart sensing barrier networks. LvXing's technical roadmap actively integrates sensor technologies and innovative materials into the extrusion structures to define the future of architectural aviation interfaces.
Precision-extruded aluminum frames provide easy snap-and-lock modular installations, drastically reducing structural retrofitting costs on offshore platforms.
Equipped with heavy-duty tensioning eyelet anchors, ensuring the stainless steel cable web maintains code-mandated tautness over decades of cyclic vibrations.
Engineered to pass rigorous dynamic test standards, simulating 122 kg weight drop testing at critical stress points along the landing pad perimeter.
Developing industrial-grade perimeter safety solutions requires a combination of raw material proximity, metallurgy scale, and precise application engineering. The production ecosystem centered in Foshan City, Guangdong, offers unmatched supply chain resilience and cost efficiency.
Foshan is recognized globally as the primary hub for advanced metal extrusion and profile finishing. Because raw aluminum and smelting plants are located in close physical proximity, transport and processing lead times are kept to an absolute minimum. Our facility uses raw material directly sourced from Fenglu Aluminum. This partnership ensures steady access to consistent chemical compositions for high-stress aerospace and marine-grade alloys (specifically 6061-T6, 6082-T6, and 7075). Our industrial plant is capable of handling complex profiles, with raw material processing capabilities utilizing extrusion presses up to 20,000T. This permits large structural shapes to be produced as single, continuous profiles (up to 28 meters in length), minimizing splicing joints and removing physical weak spots.
When engineering an elevated safety net, calculations must account for more than static weights. The interaction of high-velocity offshore winds, helicopter downwash (the high-velocity downward air stream produced by rotor blades), and seismic activity can generate complex fatigue loads.
Our engineering services utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to model structural behaviors under localized weather extremes. For shipboards and drilling rigs operating in the North Sea or South China Sea, safety nets must endure wind speeds exceeding 55 m/s without experiencing permanent deformation or structural damage. By using aerospace-certified profiles and computer-aided CNC processing, the structural frame of our perimeter nets maintains a high safety factor (typically SF = 2.5 or greater) under maximum wind conditions. Furthermore, our manual and automatic folding models are dynamically balanced, enabling crews to collapse or lock the net systems in place within seconds when weather conditions change or maintenance operations occur.
We build virtual 3D stress models for every custom request, analyzing the structural impact of dynamic loads and winds on the framing profiles.
Physical tests simulate a 122 kg soft-body drop to measure energy transfer, verifying that the net retains and cushions the object safely.
Every production run includes material test records (MTRs) and ISO certification compliance documentation to simplify port authority sign-offs.
Essential insights regarding materials, certification, wind loads, and ordering custom helideck safety nets.
Our perimeter safety nets are designed, engineered, and manufactured in full compliance with the ICAO Annex 14, FAA AC 150/5390-2C, and UK CAA CAP 437 regulations. These standards specify dimensions, structural angles (10-15 degree upward slope), and minimum impact loading values to guarantee aviation and personnel safety.
Aerospace-grade aluminum (specifically 6061-T6 and related alloys) provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, which reduces the load on rooftop structures and cantilever assemblies. Aluminum generates a self-passivating oxide layer that prevents salt-water and chemical corrosion without needing regular painting or hot-dip galvanizing, offering a service life exceeding 25 years with minimal maintenance.
Yes. Backed by our 15-year experienced R&D engineering team and the raw material capabilities of Fenglu Aluminum, we customize every net panel. Our extrusion setups (ranging from 800T to 20,000T) allow us to manufacture section dimensions up to 1.2 meters wide and 28 meters long, matching the exact specifications of offshore retrofits or unique urban helipads.
Our design standards simulate a body fall using a 122 kg sandbag or soft-body weight dropped from a height of 1 meter onto the safety panel. The net assembly must catch and cushion the load without physical failures, weld fractures, or permanent deformation of the structural aluminum frame.
