HELiMESH™ is a stainless steel safety net system specifically designed for offshore helicopter landing deck perimeter structures.
(Note: HELiMESH™ is not suitable for anti-skid
helicopter landing deck net applications).
The HELiMESH™ Advantage
Manufactured from 316 Stainless Steel Wire Cable &
Tube Frame, HELiMESH™ is extremely resistant to corrosion, even in the
harshest offshore conditions. Unlike other safety nets made from synthetic
rope / webbing or PVC coated fencing mesh, HELiMESH™ will not burn or melt
and will not deteriorate with exposure to UV rays, salt spray, etc. Given
it's long-life expectancy, HELiMESH™ will dispense with repeated costly
installations of inferior safety net systems and should outlast the life
span of the facility HELiMESH™ safety net panels are light-weight,
pre-fabricated in any shape or size ready to install, and can be installed
without scaffolding. All materials and tools required for installation are
supplied with delivery of the safety net panels.
Quality
In selecting HELiMESH™ you can be guaranteed of the highest quality products and materials. Extensive material testing by third-party PMI (Positive Materials Identification) via spectrometer is undertaken with every project and verifies manufacturer's mill and material certificates. All relevant documentation and certificates are compiled in a job specific MDR (Manufacturer's Data Report) and supplied on completion of the job.
Standards
HELiMESH™ has been subjected to rigorous drop / impact testing under the supervision of DNV (Det Norske Veritas) and exceeds the testing requirements of British CAA CAP437 (latest release December 2008) Offshore Helicopter Landing Areas, Safety Nets and Oil & Gas UK - Helideck Perimeter Safety Nets - Issue 2 - March 2008.
Options
HELiMESH™ can be manufactured with either 316 stainless steel or copper ferrules (joiners & terminations) depending on client preference. HELiMESH™ is normally installed by the facility's helideck crew, however a specialist crew can also be provided if required or preferred.
