	FEC Heliports is the world's leading designer, manufacturer and installer of ground and rooftop heliports. In addition to the traditional concrete and steel design, FEC has developed three different pre-fabricated aluminum helipad systems to provide you with the most versatile landing pad on the market today: the HELISLAT, for rooftop heliport design, the HELISLAT II, primarily for the offshore helipad market and the HELOMAT, for retrofit/ground heliport design. These aluminum systems are as strong as concrete and their lightweight design are perfect for new construction or adding to your existing building. These permanently portable pads are the perfect choice for rooftop, ground, and offshore applications and can also be used to retrofit your worn out concrete pad. With our firm, you gain an in-house staff consisting of professional consultants, design/build engineers and an installation team with extensive experience and knowledge of heliport installations. Our continuous education and complete knowledge of the current and future FAA Guidelines provides our customers with expert consultation in the design process. In addition to coordinating your entire heliport project, FEC offers a full line of heliport accessories such as lights, wind cones, snow melting systems, fuel/water separators and fire suppression systems. These specifications are to be used in conjunction with the full drawing submittals provided by FEC Heliports. Any discrepancies should yield to the drawing package and should be verified with FEC.
