What is the planning for helipad construction?

 In addition to air rescue, helicopters can also serve as aerial tourism tools, providing tourists with an excellent opportunity to overlook Beijing. A reporter learned that Beijing has currently opened 7 air tour routes, with the 15-minute tour costing 2,280 yuan per person and the 20-minute tour costing 2,680 yuan per person. If you charter a flight, the price ranges from 35,000 to 50,000 yuan per hour. So, what is the helipad construction plan?

1. Venue selection

 Choosing a suitable site is the first step in building a helipad. Factors that need to be considered include geographical location, ground conditions, meteorological conditions, traffic conditions, etc. Try to choose open, flat, hard land, and avoid building aprons in high mountains, steep slopes, soft soil, etc. At the same time, the site should meet the requirements for helicopter takeoff and landing and avoid places with unstable airflow.

2. Apron size

 The size of the parking pad should be determined according to the type and number of helicopters parked. Generally speaking, the length of the apron should be at least 1.5 times the full length of the helicopter, and the width should be at least 1.2 times the full width of the helicopter. In addition, factors such as the parking location and maintenance space of the helicopter must also be considered, so the actual size of the apron may need to be larger.

3. Helicopter type

 When building a helipad, the type of helicopter that will be parked needs to be considered. Different types of helicopters have different take-off and landing requirements, so the design and construction of the apron should be based on the type of helicopter. For example, a light helicopter's landing pad can be relatively small, while a larger helicopter's landing pad will require more space.

4. Flight area design

 The flight area is the area where helicopters take off and land, and its design should meet relevant standards and specifications. Factors to consider include ground hardness, slope, texture, reflection, etc. In addition, the design of the flight area should also consider drainage issues to prevent water accumulation from affecting the takeoff and landing of helicopters.

5. Shutdown equipment

 Parking equipment is the basic facilities of the apron, including parking spaces, signs, lighting equipment, etc. The parking space should meet the parking requirements for helicopters, the signs and markings should be clear, and the lighting equipment should meet the needs of night takeoff and landing. In addition, refueling equipment, power supply equipment, etc. may also be required.

6. Communication and Navigation

 Communication and navigation equipment is an important facility to ensure the safe takeoff and landing of helicopters. Reliable communication equipment and navigation equipment need to be equipped to ensure the safety of helicopters during takeoff and landing. These devices should comply with relevant standards and specifications and should be regularly maintained and updated.

7. Lighting signs

 Light signs are one of the important facilities on the apron, used to indicate the location and direction of helicopters. Reliable lighting equipment and identification signage need to be equipped to meet the needs of take-off and landing at night and in low-visibility conditions. In addition, the color and brightness of lighting equipment and signage should comply with relevant standards and specifications to ensure safety and effectiveness.

8. Safety protection

Safety protection measures are an important part of ensuring the safety of helicopter takeoff and landing. A series of measures need to be taken, including fences, safety nets, warning signs, etc., to prevent people and objects from entering the flight area, thereby avoiding safety accidents. In addition, regular safety inspections and maintenance should be carried out to ensure the normal operation of safety protection facilities.

9. Environmental protection measures

 Environmental protection measures are one of the important aspects of modern apron construction. Factors to consider include noise control, exhaust emission control, sewage treatment, etc. Effective measures should be taken to reduce the negative impact on the surrounding environment and comply with the requirements of relevant environmental protection regulations.

10. Supporting facilities

Supporting facilities are an important part of improving the efficiency and comfort of the apron. Factors to consider include restrooms, lounges, dining facilities, etc. These facilities should be designed and laid out according to usage needs to meet the work and life needs of users. At the same time, supporting facilities should also consider energy conservation and environmental protection issues to meet the requirements of sustainable development.
