Oryx Aviation Services LLC – SPC delivers comprehensive Helideck Refueling System Inspection and Certification services designed to ensure the highest levels of safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance for both offshore and onshore helideck operations. With extensive aviation expertise, we support operators in maintaining safe refueling practices that protect personnel, aircraft, and assets while ensuring uninterrupted helicopter operations.
Our services are conducted in strict accordance with internationally recognized standards, including ICAO Annex 14, UK CAA CAP 437, and applicable regional aviation authority requirements. We adopt a systematic and risk-based approach to confirm that helideck refueling systems meet all operational, technical, and safety expectations.
Our inspection and certification process begins with a detailed system assessment, covering all critical components such as fuel storage tanks, pumps, filtration units, hoses, nozzles, grounding and bonding arrangements, and associated safety devices. Each element is carefully examined to verify structural integrity, operational performance, and compliance with approved standards.
A strong focus is placed on fuel quality and contamination control. Our specialists verify fuel sampling and testing procedures, inspect filtration and quality monitoring systems, and assess contamination prevention measures to ensure that clean, uncontaminated aviation fuel is consistently delivered to helicopters.
We also evaluate safety features and emergency preparedness, including emergency shut-off systems, fire and spill protection measures, warning signage, and availability of appropriate personal protective equipment. This ensures effective risk mitigation during all refueling activities.
In addition, ORYX conducts a thorough review of operational procedures and personnel competency, confirming that refueling is performed only by trained and authorized personnel in line with CAP 437 and industry best practices.
Each engagement concludes with comprehensive documentation and certification, including detailed inspection reports, identification of non-conformities, practical recommendations, and issuance of inspection or compliance certificates to support regulatory audits and operational assurance.
By choosing ORYX, clients gain a trusted aviation partner committed to safety, compliance, and operational excellence in helideck refueling operations.
