Let Our Experts Guide Your Helipad Project
Several factors go into planning a safe, FAA-compliant helipad to support multi-million-dollar aircraft. FEC Heliports will assess your needs and site constraints to determine the best helipad location, layout, and design — all in alignment with U.S. and international regulations.
Helipad Site Selection
Discover the most viable helipad locations with an expert on-site consultation. We evaluate factors like rooftop load capacity, ground clearance, and access pathways, then deliver a detailed recommendation report tailored to your operational needs and compliance requirements.
Flight Path/Airspace Obstruction Analysis
Comply with critical obstruction-clearance standards using our expert flight path and airspace analysis. We assess surrounding buildings, trees, and other potential hazards to ensure safe helicopter approach and departure paths in line with FAA and ICAO guidelines.
FAA and International Compliance Audit
Ensure your existing or planned helipad meets all relevant regulatory standards. We perform a full compliance audit using FAA, ICAO, CAP 437, and international regulations to help you avoid delays and costly corrections.

Streamline your project with our full-service design-build model. FEC handles everything: helipad design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation — everything in-house. That means no subcontractors, better quality control, and faster timelines for you. Work with the experts and only the experts.
