Helideck friction testing services
Control Union operates a global fleet of CAP 437 compliant helideck friction testers. Our friction testers are continuous friction measuring equipment (CFME) testers, providing automated data collection, storage and processing. The resulting report clearly identifies any non-compliant areas that require corrective action, with detailed accuracy.
Helicopter refuelling system inspection
Drawing on 20 years of experience, our fuelling system inspectors can inspect your fuelling facility in compliance with CAP 437 and any local or client-specific requirements.
