Heliports present specialized monitoring challenges due to rotor wash forces, wind loading, foundation integrity requirements, and the need for precise operational tolerances. These critical aviation facilities must maintain exacting standards for helicopter approach and landing safety. Vibration from rotor downwash, seismic activity in exposed locations, and foundation settlement can compromise pad stability and safety. Our monitoring systems use specialized sensors designed for aviation environments, including high-frequency accelerometers for rotor wash analysis and precision leveling sensors for pad flatness. We deploy nationwide across hospitals, offshore platforms, government facilities, and commercial operations, meeting FAA and ICAO standards. Our systems provide real-time data for flight safety decisions and maintenance planning, with PE-stamped documentation supporting regulatory compliance and insurance requirements. Automated alerts help heliport operators make informed decisions about temporary closures during adverse conditions.
