The Leader in Hospital Rooftop Helipads
FEC Heliports specializes in hospital heliports. Unlike other companies where heliports may be a small part of their overall footprint, FEC has been designing and building heliports for hospitals for over 25 years. Our consultants, engineers and installation team have unparalleled knowledge and experience within the medical industry. Our aluminum products have provided solutions for every type of hospital campus and each project has allowed us to refine our approach and perspective when tailoring solutions for your facility.
Every hospital is unique and helipad-siting decisions should always be made with full consideration to the specifics of the local situation. Items to be considered include dimensional and obstruction clearance criteria; prevailing winds; impacts on nearby land uses; public safety and security; functional uses of campus areas; patient transport routes; aesthetics; economics; constructability; etc. Having planned many helipads, both elevated and ground level, our experience is that elevated installations are superior in many respects. We encourage project owners to plan for an elevated helipad in the earliest stages of campus planning. In addition to the cost benefits, the overriding factor is that the hospital owner can provide better service to the public with an elevated helipad.
