Direct supply of certified peripheral netting engineered for complex urban rooftops, emergency hospitals, and civil structures.
The Paris metropolitan region (Île-de-France) is currently undergoing a massive evolution in both traditional civil aviation and pioneering Urban Air Mobility (UAM). With key transportation nodes such as the historical Issy-les-Moulineaux Heliport (LFPI) adjusting to environmental frameworks and the expansion of emergency medical networks (SAMU) at major hospitals like the Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière, structural standards for helipads are stricter than ever before.
Additionally, the launch of Europe’s first operational vertiports in the Paris region—serving eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) and advanced emergency transport—has introduced complex loading and structural dynamics. Standard concrete platforms are rapidly being phased out or retrofitted with modular, lightweight structural extruded aluminum profiles.
Aluminum profiles offer a uniquely balanced density-to-strength ratio that reduces load-bearing demands on historical Paris rooftops. Concurrently, French civil aviation authorities (DGAC) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) mandate precise structural guidelines for peripheral protection. This has made high-tensile safety netting and high-grade aluminum profiles critical components in structural approvals.
As the French government pushes for greener and quieter aviation infrastructures, prefabricated modular aluminum profiles represent a key development path: they are 100% recyclable, quick to assemble without hot works, and highly corrosion-resistant against urban pollution and acid rain.
Upgrading existing rooftop layouts to handle heavier, modern twin-engine medical helicopters (e.g., Airbus H145, H160) requiring high-bearing profiles.
Strict regulatory alignment regarding friction coefficient, visual markings, and drop-tested perimeter safety netting systems.
Preference for structural aluminum over steel/concrete to limit structural carbon footprint and streamline off-site modular fabrication.
Helipads are dynamic loading zones subjected to extreme aerodynamic downwash, impact forces during emergency landings, and aggressive weathering. Relying on premium structural aluminum alloys (specifically the 6xxx series) is standard practice for modern civil heliport engineering.

| 6061-T6 | 240 MPa | 276 MPa | High | Perimeter frame profiles, truss systems, connector brackets. |
| 6063-T6 | 170 MPa | 215 MPa | Excellent | Safety net structural frames, auxiliary railings, cable conduits. |
| 5052 / 5083 | 190 MPa (5083) | 270 MPa | Outstanding (Salt Spray Resistance) | Offshore shipborne deck plating and peripheral drainage channels. |
Aluminum profiles utilized in helipad structures are typically manufactured using large-scale hydraulic presses. These profiles incorporate integrated fastening channels, mechanical interlocking systems (tongue-and-groove design), and micro-grooved or knurled surfaces to guarantee friction and slip resistance—even in ice, snow, or rain. The structural rigidity is computed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to safely handle impact loads up to 3.25 times the Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of the designated aircraft, complying fully with ICAO Annex 14 and UK CAA CAP 437 guidelines.
Parisian urban environments present localized chemical challenges, including sulfur oxides, nitrogen dioxide, and winter de-icing compounds. Our aluminum alloys undergo advanced surface treatments. Anodizing (Class 20 or Class 25, 20-25 microns thick) or high-durability polyester powder coating provides complete isolation from the elements, ensuring a lifespan exceeding 30 years without the need for recurring painting or rust prevention treatments typical of structural steel.

Key engineering and regulatory questions answered by our technical department.
Aluminum structural profiles weigh up to 60% less than traditional concrete and structural steel, significantly reducing dead-load pressure on rooftops. This is particularly crucial for older buildings in Paris. Additionally, aluminum requires zero maintenance, is corrosion-resistant, and supports faster, bolt-together onsite assembly without hot works.
Yes. Our perimeter safety nets and aluminum frames are built and tested in accordance with EASA CS-HST-ALN (Heliports) and UK CAA CAP 437 standards. They are designed to withstand drop tests of up to 100 kg from a height of 1 meter, absorbing kinetic energy without permanent deformation.
To provide an accurate technical quote, we require: 1) The maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of the helicopter to determine load-bearing calculations. 2) Dimensions and shape requirements of the deck (square, octagonal, or round). 3) The elevation type (ground-level, rooftop, or offshore). 4) Surface finishing preferences (e.g., specific anodizing levels or powder coating colors).
We partner with top-tier primary aluminum smelters like Fenglu to source consistent, high-purity aluminum ingots. Every production run is accompanied by a mill test certificate specifying the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the batch. In-house testing ensures that magnesium and silicon content are balanced, preventing micro-structural weakness.
