Elevated helipads located on rooftops, offshore platforms, or coastal facilities represent highly demanding structural environments. In contrast to ground-level landing zones, elevated helidecks are subject to volatile aerodynamic vortices, heavy turbulence, and stringent space constraints. For these reasons, safety nets must be designed not just as static boundaries, but as active energy-absorbing safety mechanisms.
Under international aviation safety mandates, including the UK Civil Aviation Authority's CAP 437 and the Federal Aviation Administration's FAA AC 150/5390-2C, perimeter safety nets are required to withstand dynamic impacts without failing. Our custom safety net systems are engineered to withstand a drop test of a 100kg sandbag or mass from a drop height of 1 meter, absorbing kinetic energy and preventing rebound back onto the landing deck. The dynamic deflection properties of our high-tensile mesh ensure that in the event of personnel falling or debris scattering, the net safely yields to cushion the load, reducing injury severity while retaining its structural integrity.
A safety net must never act as a trampoline. Our design philosophy utilizes high-performance continuous geared hinges (such as the LX-H02 and LX-H04 series) and energy-damping frames to convert vertical force into progressive lateral strain, safely arresting movement without causing a slingshot effect.
When engineering helipad decks and perimeter components, material selection is critical to ensuring decades of service with minimal maintenance. While stainless steel was historically utilized for safety barriers, modern developments in metallurgy make premium 6000-series structural aluminum alloys the preferred material of choice.
At Lvxing, we leverage premium Fenglu aluminum, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. By utilizing custom extrusion profiles, we reduce the overall structural dead weight of elevated decks. This weight reduction is crucial for retrofitting rooftop landing pads on historic hospital buildings or maximizing the payload capacity of offshore jack-up drilling units.
Aluminum profiles offer a strength-to-weight ratio three times that of stainless steel, significantly decreasing the load on structural columns and cantilever supports.
Natural anodic oxidation protects aluminum alloys from salt spray, acid rain, and extreme UV exposure. No paint or chemical coating is required, preventing maritime contamination.
Our 800T to 20,000T extrusion lines accommodate intricate interlocking profiles, permitting rapid, weld-free assembly on site.
Aviation safety is heavily regulated, and compliance is non-negotiable. An improperly certified safety net can lead to airport or rooftop facility shutdowns. Lvxing’s engineering process is fully aligned with dominant international specifications:
Our production facilities maintain active CE Certifications for helideck perimeter safety systems, showing that every customized project conforms to rigorous health, safety, and environmental protection benchmarks inside the European Economic Area (EEA) and global markets.
Every building and platform presents unique challenges. Roof layouts, ventilation systems, external piping, and architectural aesthetics require specific, non-standard net configurations.
Our R&D team works directly with your structural CAD files. We customize the net perimeter layout, frame angle, and hinge connections to accommodate physical obstacles. Whether you require manual folding mechanisms, motor-driven electric folding net arrays (such as the CE Certified Helideck perimeter safety net (Electric)), or static cantilever profiles, Lvxing develops a tailored, compliant solution.
Helipad environments vary wildly. Below is an overview of how we customize our safety net systems to meet localized environmental stresses:
Challenge: Sound dampening and low maintenance inside residential zones. Minimal magnetic interference is required for rooftop medical gear.
Solution: Non-magnetic, corrosion-free 6061-T6 aluminum mesh frames. Silent-fold continuous hinges prevent clatter and structural vibration during high-wind events.
Challenge: Severe marine environment with constant salt fog and wind shear. Rapid seawater exposure causes galvanic corrosion on standard steel fixtures.
Solution: Heavy-duty, marine-grade anodized profiles combined with custom continuous hinges. Optional electric remote-controlled folding net systems avoid manual operation in high seas.
Challenge: High altitude wind speeds, aesthetics integration, and tight structural limits on cantilever projections.
Solution: Frameless mesh panels combined with streamlined profile designs. Highly customized profile geometries fit with architectural lighting arrays and façade designs.
Established in 2015 and located in Foshan City, Guangdong, LvXing Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. boasts a skilled R&D team with extensive experience. We leverage exceptional technical expertise to effectively transform customers' ideas into reality, consistently meeting their precise requirements.
We utilize premium Fenglu aluminum, offering a diverse range of profiles for flexible applications. Our extrusion lines, ranging from 800T to 20,000T, accommodate alloys 1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx, allowing us to produce shaped products with section dimensions up to 1.2 meters in width and 28 meters in length. These products are recognized for their precision and meticulous processing, finding broad application in aerospace, military, medical, and industrial sectors.
Our commitment to excellence is evident throughout the manufacturing process, rigorous quality control, thorough packaging, and efficient shipping procedures. This dedication has earned us recognition as a national excellent and honest enterprise, along with quality system certification in accordance with GB/T19001-2016/ISO9001:2015 standards.
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft become integrated into municipal and industrial transit webs, helipad systems must adapt to handle these new form factors. Our R&D division is focused on designing safety net systems for these incoming aircraft types.
We are currently developing smart integrated safety net arrays. These arrays use optical sensors and strain gauges to monitor physical load states in real time. If a foreign object or person falls into the perimeter net, an automated signal is immediately dispatched to the heliport control station. This technology speeds up emergency response and helps avoid hazards on the deck. Our commitment to innovation guarantees that when you partner with Lvxing, you invest in a system designed for tomorrow's technology.
Lvxing’s aluminum alloy structures are 100% recyclable. Unlike galvanized steel nets which degrade into landfills, our decommissioned systems hold residual metal value, lowering the total lifecycle cost and aligning with ESG and green building standards.
