Engineered to meet stringent international standards (CAP 437/ICAO) and adapted for extreme Central Asian operational environments.
As the economic powerhouse of Central Asia, Kazakhstan is undergoing a massive transformation in its industrial, mining, and energy sectors. The geographic expanse of the country—ranging from the Caspian Basin in the west to the Altai mountains in the east—demands highly efficient logistics. Helicopter transportation plays a critical role in offshore oil exploration, remote mining operations, and regional emergency services (HEMS). Consequently, the requirement for robust, reliable, and compliant helipads and safety nets has reached an all-time high.
Historically, concrete and welded steel helidecks dominated the region. However, these traditional structures face severe degradation under Kazakhstan’s continental climate, which experiences extreme thermal fluctuations (from -40°C in winter to +40°C in summer). Steel is prone to embrittlement at sub-zero temperatures, and concrete develops micro-fissures during freeze-thaw cycles. Today, leading engineering firms in Atyrau, Aktau, and Astana are transitioning to lightweight, high-grade structural aluminum helipads. Aluminum offers superior corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratios, and rapid modular installation without on-site welding, significantly reducing project timelines and operational downtime.
To successfully deploy a helipad system in Kazakhstan, engineers must design for specific localized geological and environmental conditions:

Developing structural solutions for international airports, commercial rooftops, oil platforms, and vessel helidecks requires adherence to stringent global regulations. Standard safety guidelines, such as ICAO Annex 14 Volume II and CAP 437, mandate specific criteria for deck dimensions, friction coefficients, obstacle-free zones, and perimeter fall protection.
For deck structures, we primarily employ 6082-T6 and 6005A-T6 aluminum alloys. These structural alloys offer exceptional tensile strength, yield strength, and structural stability. The main benefits are:
Perimeter safety netting is non-negotiable for elevated helipads. According to ICAO and CAP 437 guidelines, the safety net must extend at least 1.5 meters outward from the edge of the helideck. The net must be sloped slightly upward (approx. 10 degrees) and must act as a hammock rather than a trampoline, catching falling personnel safely without causing them to bounce off.
| Parameter | Requirement (CAP 437) | LvXing Helideck & Safety Net Specifications |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Corrosion-resistant metal/synthetic | High-strength Marine Grade Aluminum 6063-T6 Frame + 316 Stainless Steel Mesh |
| Drop Test Performance | 100 kg weight from 1 meter height | Certified to exceed 100 kg drop test dynamic force (No failure, minimal deformation) |
| Outward Span | Minimum 1.5 meters | Customized 1.5m to 2.0m projection options available |
| Corrosion Resistance | C5-M (Marine Extreme) | Anodized aluminum profiles and passivated stainless steel components |
| Tension Mechanism | Uniform boundary tensioning | Available in Manual Tension Bolt configurations or Automatic Foldable Electric mechanisms |
For contractors in Almaty, Astana, and Shymkent, purchasing from our Foshan factory represents a powerful combination of cost efficiency and logistics convenience. Thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative and the Khorgos Land Port (Dry Port), freight transit times have been drastically reduced. Cargo shipped via rail transit from Guangdong through Khorgos to Almaty typically arrives in 10 to 14 days, offering a much faster and more reliable shipping route than sea routes to other remote locations.
By bypassing Western European intermediaries, Kazakhstan purchasers deal directly with the Chinese manufacturer. This guarantees access to competitive factory pricing, customized material configurations (including custom extrusion dies), and direct access to our technical design team for site drawings and dynamic loading calculations.

Crucial engineering, regulatory, and logistics details clarified by our technical specialists.
We recommend using marine-grade 6082-T6 and 6005A-T6 aluminum alloys. These alloys provide high yield strengths capable of handling helicopter landing impact forces while remaining highly resistant to salt-spray and low-temperature corrosion. This makes them ideal for rooftop buildings in Almaty and offshore rigs in the Caspian Sea.
Our perimeter safety nets are certified to meet CAP 437 and ICAO Annex 14 requirements. They are engineered with a 1.5-meter outward projection, a 10-degree upward incline, and are rigorously drop-tested using a 100 kg weight falling from 1 meter. The net body uses corrosion-resistant grade 316 stainless steel wire mesh or high-performance synthetic materials suspended in a marine-grade aluminum frame.
Yes. Unlike structural steel, which becomes brittle in extreme cold, aluminum alloys maintain their ductility and strength at sub-zero temperatures (down to -60°C). Additionally, our profile designs support the integration of electric trace heating systems to prevent ice build-up, ensuring safe helicopter landing operations during the cold winters in Astana and Karaganda.
Because we are located in Foshan, Guangdong, we leverage the Belt and Road railway network. Goods are loaded and sent via rail transit through the Khorgos Land Port directly into Kazakhstan (Almaty/Astana). Rail transit takes approximately 10 to 14 days from our factory gates, reducing shipping costs and times compared to maritime or air transport.
We supply comprehensive layout drawings, structural calculations, and 3D assembly animations. Our modular design relies on bolted connections rather than welding, making installation straightforward for local contractors. If requested, we can deploy experienced technical supervisors or conduct video-assisted installation reviews to ensure full compliance with design tolerances.
