Aries Energy offers complete range of helideck services which includes design, maintenance, inspection & certification to ensure safe operations of helideck in order to meet local and international standards and codes.
In aircraft maintenance programme it is important to inspect the mechanical damage and assess the extent of the repair work. But in schedule maintenance it is a difficult to finding the defects rapidly, as the maintenance of aircraft must be accomplished within scheduled time and same to be released in time for commercial operation.
During aircraft maintenance 'NONDESTRUCTWE TESTING' (NDT) is the most economical way of performing inspection and this is the only way of discovering defects. In simply we can say, NDT can detect cracks or any other irregularities in the airframe structure and engine components which are obviously not visible to the naked eye.
Structures & different assemblies of aircraft are made from various materials, such as aluminium alloy, steel, titanium and composite materials. To dismantle the aircraft in pieces and then examine each component would take a long time, so the NDT method and equipment selection must be fast and effective.
Aries Energy tests helideck friction to the UK CAA Civil Air Publication (CAP) 437, 9th Edition (February 2023), the primary international helideck standard, and can also align testing with regional requirements such as the Mukamalah (Aramco) Aviation standards, Rev-07 (September 2023), or CAR-HVD, Issue-01 (March 2023), depending on the operator’s or client’s applicable regulatory framework.
Yes, both. In addition to CAP 437 and ICAO Annex 14 Volume II heliport standards used for offshore platform helidecks, Aries Energy follows the MCA LY3 (Large Commercial Yacht Code) for helipad inspection and certification on large commercial yachts.
Perimeter net drop testing verifies the structural integrity of the safety net around the helideck edge and its ability to arrest a person or object under load, and is drop-tested and certified. Landing net visual inspection separately checks the condition of the net covering the deck’s landing surface itself. Aries Energy performs both as distinct parts of its helideck audit and certification scope.
Yes. Aries Energy uses NDT methods including eddy current inspection, magnetic particle inspection, fluorescent dye penetrant testing, ultrasonic testing, radiography, and Barkhausen noise testing to detect cracks and irregularities in airframe structures and engine components that are not visible externally, without requiring component disassembly.
