Frictape Helideck Landing Net is known as the global market leader in helideck safety nets. Its unique, innovative materials and balanced, low-profile structure ensure that helicopters and personnel can always enjoy safe and hassle-free operations on any landing deck where total safety is needed.
Frictape Perimeter Net offers market-leading safety and smooth operations for all personnel operating on deck. Out nets are uniquely designed and custom-built for your helideck, providing standard-exceeding strength, reliable functionality and lowest lifetime costs in the industry.
In addition to high quality helideck net solutions, we supply a number of safety net accessories that can be supplied with the nets or as separate orders. Dimensions and quantities of our accessories are always made to fit your need.
Frictape Circle & H Netlight is a groundbreaking solution for Circle & H lighting, born from the requests of our customers for more simple and low cost Circle & H lighting solution. Our innovative, standard-complying approach offers operational flexibility beyond any other system on the market: Light modules can be integrated to the landing net (no need to drill holes to the helideck) or fastened to the deck in more traditional fashion.
Frictape HMS Repeater Lights offer the pilot completely new way to visually confirm the helideck motion status and possible unsafe wind conditions, as shown by the HMS system, bringing significant safety improvement to helicopter operations and personnel moving on the helideck.
Non-stretch material, unknotted structure, ease of fitting, and longevity are the main product features described by Mr. Nigel Parfoot from Chevron Erskine Materials who together with the rest of the operations team decided to go for Frictape. Mr. Parfoot highlights that all the mentioned characteristics are important especially in a remotely controlled platform.
“The Frictape Landing Net can easily be installed by one person, which would be impossible to do with a traditional rope net, and once installed and tensioned, it retains its shape indefinitely, which is a real asset for an unattended platform,” continues Mr. Parfoot.
After the positive experience of Frictape Landing Net, also the helideck perimeter netting was changed to Frictape. “The Frictape net is ideal for the situation at Erskine, and when it was time to replace the helideck perimeter net, it made sense to use the same product,” explains Mr. Parfoot for selecting also Frictape Perimeter Nets.
“Perimeter net testing is straightforward, we send in a sample that has been exposed to the weather for the same duration as the net and get the results back promptly. This is a much better system than the old way of throwing weights into the net!”, Nigel Parfoot explains.
