Other Helideck Equipment

Aluminium Offshore can offer add-ons such as Bird Deterrent Systems (BDS) and Helideck Monitoring Systems (HMS). These enhance safety, cleanliness, and compliance—keeping decks clear of seabirds and providing real-time weather and motion data for flight operations—all seamlessly packaged with our helideck solutions.

Enhancing Safety, Reliability and Compliance

At Aluminium Offshore, our helideck solutions go beyond structural design. We can include other related equipment such as Bird Deterrent Systems (BDS) and Helideck Monitoring Systems (HMS) as part of our helideck package, ensuring every helideck we deliver meets the highest operational and aviation safety standards.

Bird Deterrent System (BDS)

Offshore environments attract seabirds, and their presence on helidecks can compromise safety, hygiene and operations. Our optional BDS package provides an effective, non-harmful deterrent, using advanced bio-acoustic technology that emits natural bird distress calls to keep decks clear.

The BDS helps to :

  • Prevent bird contamination, and obstruction of critical markings
  • Reduce cleaning and maintenance downtime
  • Maintain safe, ready-for-landing conditions year-round

We partner with trusted suppliers with proven track records to provide robust, field-proven deterrent solutions tailored to each installation.

Helideck Monitoring System (HMS)

For offshore and floating installations, accurate environmental data are essential for flight safety. Our HMS packages deliver real-time monitoring of weather and deck motion parameters in full compliance with UK CAA CAP 437 and international aviation standards.

A complete HMS setup typically includes sensors for:

  • Wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure, humidity
  • Deck inclination, heave, roll, and pitch
  • Visibility and cloud height readings
  • Integrated pre-flight and on-deck displays for pilots

We collaborate with established system providers that specialise in offshore aviation data systems. Through these partnerships, we ensure every helideck package meets the latest international standards for safety, accuracy, and performance.
