Enhance helideck operations with Swire Energy Services and Vaisala

In 2023 we forged an unrivalled partnership with Vaisala as our global offshore service partner to deliver robust helideck monitoring services and ensure the safe landing of helicopters in the offshore industry.

Our Helideck Monitoring System (HMS) is designed to provide accurate real-time data on the helideck surfaces, surrounding airspace and weather conditions to provide the maximum opportunity for flights to be completed safely and seamlessly. Acting also as an Environmental Monitoring Solution (EMS), this one-stop system offers an intuitive solution that streamlines offshore operations. Customised to client-specific requirements, our HMS delivers the accurate information at the right time.

System calibration, verification and maintenance

Our sophisticated HMS is designed to monitor a range of variables such as wind speed, direction, temperature and other critical environmental factors.

These systems need regular calibration, verification and maintenance to remain compliant and to provide correct real-time data to pilots, ground crews and operators. Our multi-skilled engineers execute regular audits that look at areas in isolation to a specific task or as part of a multi-scope offshore project.

“We’re committed to helping our customers achieve safer, smarter, and more efficient offshore operations. With SAWOS, we’ve developed an innovative, fully customisable system that goes beyond standard helideck monitoring to deliver real-time insights that support critical decision-making across aviation, vessel and offshore activities. Our partnership with Vaisala allows us to bring world-leading weather technology and trusted global support to every project, giving clients the confidence of working with one expert supplier focused on continuous innovation, reliability and operational excellence.”
