Helideck Integrity Testing
Ensuring the safety of helideck landing areas is critical for offshore operations. Gecric Integrity's trained personnel conduct comprehensive helideck assessments in accordance with the UK Civil Aviation Authority's (UKCAA) CAP 437 standards, utilizing the Micro GripTester to measure surface friction. This device provides accurate, continuous friction measurements, essential for maintaining safe helicopter landing conditions.
