Floating floors for helipads

Resilient floating floor systems for helipad vibration isolation

Floating floor systems for helipads are designed to isolate the dynamic loads, structure-borne vibration, and airborne noise generated during helicopter landing and take-off operations. By resiliently decoupling the helipad from the supporting structure, these systems minimise vibration transmission, protect sensitive areas within the building, and ensure long-term structural performance under demanding operational conditions.

Solutions

Floating Floor for Helipads:

1. Supporting structure:Primary structural element that supports the helipad and transfers static and dynamic loads.

2. Sylomer SR11:Polyurethane elastomer providing resilient isolation and controlled deflection.

3. FZH2M + Sylomer® height-adjustable stud:Height-adjustable resilient mount combining a low-stiffness steel spring with a Sylomer® element for high-load vibration isolation.

4. Reinforcement:Steel reinforcement providing structural strength and crack control.

5. Concrete slab:Structural slab providing mass, stiffness, and load distribution.

6. Surface coating:Protective finish providing durability, weather resistance, and helipad markings.

7. Helicopter:Source of dynamic loads, structure-borne vibration, and airborne noise during landing and take-off operations.
