Challenge
The transportation of our products was rather difficult due to the harsh weather in the mountains, thus everything had to be transported by helicopter. In addition, everything had to be powered by solar panels, as there was no power available at the location, and our products had to be wrapped, in order to be protected from heavy rain and wind.
Heliport
This is a ground-level heliport, suited for landing and take-off of helicopters and other vertical-lift aircraft. The project was made with Signalight‘s high-quality products, including the following:
- Heliport Beacon – which is a bright light, signaling the presence of the heliport
- Basic Beacon Controller – which powers and controls the beacon
- Solar Power System
- Medium Intensity type B light – which emits flashing red light to signal obstacles during nighttime
The guidance system is made with a wind direction indicator, which gives the pilot a clear indication of the direction of the wind and a general indication of the wind’s speed.
The products and lighting systems used comply to the client’s needs, but also meet the ICAO and FAA regulations.
