helipad consultant
An engineering firm that calculates requirements for constructing and locating helicopter landing pads.
A helipad consultant is an engineering firm which calculates the requirements for construction and placement of landing/launching pads for helicopters.
The calculations concern the construction of the pad and its placement at the property. The supplied service is engineering for the landing and launching facility, rather than manufacture of its components alone.
A helipad fabricator manufactures or assembles the helicopter pad. The consultant establishes requirements for its construction and location, which is distinct from making the supplied pad.
