Offering robust, marine-grade aluminum helipad profiles meticulously engineered to withstand the rigorous monsoon conditions, high salinity, and intense wind profiles of Sri Lanka. Discover our foundational structural extrusions.
As Sri Lanka emerges as a critical logistics and financial hub in the Indian Ocean, rapid urbanization in Colombo, Hambantota, and Trincomalee has catalyzed significant vertical and offshore growth. The expansion of high-rise skyscrapers—such as the Port City Colombo developments, luxury coastal resorts, and critical care hospital facilities—demands the integration of rooftop and elevated landing platforms.
Sri Lanka's tropical climate features year-round high humidity, high-intensity UV exposure, and intense sea spray containing chloride ions. Traditional structural steel helidecks degrade rapidly under these conditions, demanding continuous sandblasting and repainting. Our 6000 & 7000-series aluminum alloy structural profiles offer a natural passive oxide film, providing unparalleled corrosion resistance and reducing weight on roofs by up to 60%.
Established in 2015 and based in Foshan City, Guangdong, LvXing Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. leverages premium Fenglu aluminum to manufacture custom profiles for global distribution.
LVXING holds the prestigious “Special Aluminium Materials for Aerospace” Certificate. Our engineering rigor aligns with strict aerospace load distribution calculations, ensuring structural viability for heavy military and commercial helicopters.
Deploying extrusion capabilities ranging from 800T to 20,000T, we supply complex profiles in 1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx alloys, supporting section widths up to 1.2m and lengths up to 28m.
Our dedicated R&D engineers possess 15+ years of sector experience, converting complex structural requirements into tangible modular helideck components that meet global standards.
Enhance structural integrity with specialized drainage, perimeter netting, and high-strength configurations
Civil and structural engineering firms in Colombo and global offshore developers require precise physical and mechanical performance metrics to execute finite element analysis (FEA). Helipad designs must account for maximum take-off weight (MTOW), impact dynamic landing factors (typically 1.5x to 2.5x), and concentrated load distribution from multi-wheel or skid gear systems.
Sustainability is key to modern structural engineering. Aluminum is 100% recyclable. Demolishing or retrofitting an aluminum helideck at the end of its life cycle yields high scrap-value returns, unlike contaminated steel structures. Furthermore, the lightweight nature of aluminum helipads reduces the consumption of concrete and reinforcing steel in the building columns below, significantly cutting the overall embodied carbon footprint of new high-rises in Sri Lanka.
Engineered options for offshore platforms, hospitals, and civil structures

| LX-HP03 | 6082-T6 | ≥ 310 | Extreme (Salt Spray) | Offshore gas platforms, Navy patrol vessels, Hambantota port |
| LX-HP04 | 7075-T6 / 6082-T6 | ≥ 540 / ≥ 310 | High to Extreme | Military operations, rapid-deployment tactical helipads |
Adhering to strict international and domestic aviation codes
All helideck engineering and design implementations in Sri Lanka must satisfy the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL) regulations, alongside international standards:
We offer full support for customs clearance at Colombo Port. Each batch of extruded profiles is securely packed in customized marine-grade wooden crates, wrapped in waterproof vapor barriers, and accompanied by comprehensive mill test certificates (MTC) and quality reports.
Answers to common structural engineering, procurement, and design queries
Aluminum is about 60% lighter than structural steel, minimizing load demand on primary columns. Furthermore, the high salinity of Sri Lanka's coastal air causes rapid steel oxidation. Aluminum forms a natural, corrosion-resistant oxide layer, reducing maintenance costs over a 30-year lifespan.
Yes. By utilizing our 20,000T extrusion line to process high-tensile 6082-T6 and 6005A-T6 alloys, we design thick-walled structural ribs capable of absorbing dynamic landing stresses and distributing point-load wheel weight safely.
Yes. Our engineering designs conform to the design recommendations of ICAO Annex 14 Volume II and CAP 437. We supply mill test certificates, structural analysis modeling, and CE certifications with our profiles.
Our profiles feature a proprietary interlocking click/groove dry-joint connection. This allows segments to be fitted together on-site without heavy welding, avoiding thermal stress points and reducing structural installation time.
Typically, extrusion tool preparation and manufacturing take 15 to 25 days depending on profile complexity, followed by sea freight transit from Shenzhen/Foshan port to Colombo Port (usually 10 to 15 days).
Yes. Our extrusion dies can integrate tracks for LED lighting runs and mountings for safety netting systems (both manual and electric), as shown in our product range below.
