8.1.3.3 Environmental Effects around Helidecks
The environmental effects around helidecks are a key consideration when designing and operating offshore installations in combination. See Section 10.
Whether the combined facilities are permanent new build structures, an additional installation to complement existing field facilities or a temporarily located mobile unit, great care should be taken to assess the probable impact on helideck aerodynamic performance and helicopter operations of one installation in relation to another.
During initial design or subsequent modification of installations where additional structures are planned it is imperative that the potential helideck aerodynamic effects are modelled as a complete complex to ensure that any interactions between the installations are fully understood and quantified.
8.1.4 Safety Cases
8.1.4.1 Permanent Arrangements
The Safety Case developed during the initial design (or if later modified) should reflect all aspects of the combined facilities that will have potential impacts on helicopter operations and flight safety.
Where it is intended that an additional permanent structure will be installed (within 1000 metres of the other), the effects on the helicopter flying environment around the combined facilities should be fully re-assessed (whether or not both structures have helidecks).
The information in the Safety Case should also be passed to the Helicopter Operator / BHAB Helidecks in order for them to make an assessment of the extent and form of any operating restrictions or limitations that should be applied. Flight Crews will use the information for flight planning and flight management purposes.
