NHS Heliport Assistance
During the design, construction and commissioning of hospital heliports, we can provide CAA advice and guidance on aviation matters to any NHS Trust in the UK. Our aim is to ensure that the helicopters can operate safely; ensuring critically ill patients receive the very best care as quickly as possible.
We provide heliport advice on existing sites or new developments for all three types of heliports:
CAP 1264 Hospital Helipad Inspection and Certification
The future of hospital helipads is without doubt certification. We have been working with the UK Civil Aviation Authority since 2015 as their only certification contractor working on hospital helipads. Our next level is audit and certification of hospital helipads, not only to assure hospital trusts but also helicopter operators.

Feasibility Study

Tender Process Consultancy
Maintaining impartiality, we offer unbiased advice and guidance to your potential tenderers through the bid writing stage, by providing the aviation knowledge they require to submit a successful tender.
Contract Award
Once a tenderer is selected we would work with the contractor and help them develop the detail around their design, ensuring they meet all necessary aviation regulations. Once construction begins, we are available to provide our advice and guidance as follows:
