Helicopter port inspections
Offshore flight operations stay safe and uninterrupted when helidecks and fuelling systems remain fully compliant. Heliport inspections identify risks across landing areas, lighting, firefighting equipment and refuelling infrastructure before they disrupt operations. Control Union deploys multi-skilled inspectors who cover multiple disciplines in a single offshore visit, reducing flights, costs and downtime.
Safety and compliance through heliport inspections
Control Union conducts helideck and fuelling system inspections aligned with the latest edition of ICAO Annex 14 and CAP 437 standards, giving operators recognised proof of compliance. Inspectors are equally versed in local guidance documents such as NOGEPA Industry Standard 100 and HSAC Recommended Practice 163, so regional requirements are covered without additional coordination. Helicopter fuelling systems are inspected against CAP 437, NOGEPA 100 and JIG 4. This single-source approach closes gaps between international mandates and local regulations, keeping offshore aviation assets audit-ready.
Gain control, insight and certainty for heliports
Full physical asset assessment
Each survey covers the landing area, lighting systems, rescue and firefighting equipment, refuelling system and operational processes, so no critical element is overlooked.
CAP 437 compliant friction testing
Control Union operates a global fleet of CFME friction testers that automate data collection, storage and processing, pinpointing non-compliant surface areas with documented accuracy.
Perimeter net drop testing worldwide
Drop tests on sacrificial perimeter net panels verify compliance and safe operations. Tests run at workshop locations worldwide, independent of offshore schedules.
Multi-skilled inspectors reduce offshore flights
Certified experts master multiple disciplines simultaneously. Fewer specialists needed per mobilisation cuts flight costs and time, a decisive advantage where every helicopter seat counts.
Fuelling system integrity verification
Inspectors review filter changes, hose testing and differential pressure gauge calibration, confirming that the refuelling system operates safely and meets specification requirements.
The proof to your promise
Compliant helidecks, safer operations
Control Union keeps offshore aviation assets verified, documented and regulation-ready, so flight operations continue without compliance interruptions.
-
Inspectors hold safety training for both oil and gas and renewables (GWO) sectors, allowing seamless deployment across platforms, rigs and vessels without additional certification delays.
-
Small maintenance tasks such as line replacements and filter changes happen during the inspection itself, reducing the need for a separate maintenance mobilisation.
-
Tablet‑based inspections capture findings digitally, enabling reports to be issued promptly so teams can act without unnecessary delay.
