1 DEC 06: INSTANT HELIPAD

A UK flooring firm has developed the instant helipad. The new helitile system, called the Mark II PRIMA Helipad has already been supplied to the Sudan.

Jonathan Vaughan, chairman and managing director of Vaughans of Leicester, has pioneered the design and development of the plastic, interlocking flooring/roadway system over several years.

"The PRIMA Helipad system is a further development of PRIMA Terra-Tech, the instant, heavy duty roadway and hardstanding which Vaughans initially manufactured for the special events industry.

"It's also proving extremely effective with humanitarian and peace keeping agencies for use as instant roads, instant runways and hangar hard-standing in undeveloped areas or hostile terrain zones," said Jonathan.

"It is extremely strong, totally man-handable and has a rapid deployment capability by air due to its light weight."
