Helideck Safety Net – Stainless Steel Rope Helimesh

Helideck safety net (rope helideck mesh / helimesh) is a stainless steel rope mesh system surrounding offshore helicopter landing deck structures to reduce accident risk and protect passengers and equipment. It offers high flexibility, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance in harsh marine environments. Note: helideck safety net is not an anti-skid landing net; the anti-skid net on the touchdown/landing area is typically a fiber/rope friction net, not stainless steel rope mesh.

Rope Helimesh Advantages

  • Diamond-shape openings & aesthetic appearance: visually open, clean lines that complement deck architecture.
  • High flexibility: mesh aperture and rope diameter can be customized to project requirements.
  • High strength: withstands snow, rain, gale; resists fatigue and impact.
  • Corrosion resistance: stainless construction suitable for long-term sun and humidity exposure offshore.
  • Durable & maintenance-free: service life can exceed 30 years; panels can be re-used.
