Growing helideck inspection and testing company, Allied Perimeter Safety Netting Ltd (APSN) has made a substantial five-figure investment in equipment, to conduct testing of helideck surface friction values to comply with the stringent new requirements of CAP437 CAA/ICAO standards for offshore helicopter landing areas.
Danny Lonie, managing director commented: “This investment means we can now offer our clients single source access to a wider range of inspection and testing expertise as we continue to develop our business, grow our global footprint along with our commitment to providing the most cost-effective and efficient service possible.
“Our new helideck micro grip tester is accredited by the UK CAA for the measurement of friction on helidecks and has been adopted worldwide throughout the oil and gas industry as best practice. This critical safety device is being used to ensure adequate levels of friction are available on helidecks worldwide”.
APSN has recently gained DNV ISO 9001:2015 accreditation for their integrated helideck friction testing, perimeter safety net inspection and testing certification as well approval and certification from the Helideck Certification Agency (HCA).
The investment marks the beginning of a new chapter for APSN. For more information, please visit: http://www.apsnetting.net/
