Full title and description

SP 135.13130.2012 — Heliports. Fire safety requirements. This svod pravil (code of practice) establishes fire‑safety requirements for heliports (landing sites for helicopters) located on rooftops of buildings and structures, and applies to their design, construction, major repair and reconstruction as well as to provision of additional firefighting and rescue equipment.

Abstract

This code of practice defines fire‑safety objectives, normative references, terms and definitions, general fire‑safety requirements, volumetric and structural provisions, requirements for drainage, evacuation routes and exits, automatic and stationary fire‑extinguishing installations, fire‑alarm and public address systems, emergency and evacuation lighting, and additional firefighting and rescue equipment for rooftop heliports. It includes guidance on selection and sizing of extinguishing agents and examples of device placement for firefighting systems.

Scope

The document applies to rooftop heliports (helicopter landing sites on roofs of buildings and structures). It is intended for use during design, construction, major repair and reconstruction of such heliports and sets minimum requirements for their fire‑safety systems and for provision of additional firefighting and rescue equipment; it does not cover closed aircraft structures or ground/water floating heliports.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and normative references for fire safety of heliports.
• General fire‑safety requirements for heliport siting and construction (materials, structural fire resistance, separation and barriers).
• Volumetric/planning and structural provisions for rooftop heliports (working area, marking, access routes).
• Drainage and wastewater provisions to prevent spread of extinguishing agents and fuel runoff.
• Evacuation routes, exits and emergency access for rescue and firefighting crews.
• Stationary fire‑extinguishing systems (water/foam systems), supply and pumping arrangements, frost protection where required.
• Fire‑alarm, notification and emergency lighting systems; electrical equipment requirements for fire safety.
• Provisioning of additional firefighting and rescue equipment and methodology for calculating required extinguishing agent quantities (informative annexes contain examples and calculation guidance).

Typical use and users

Used by architects, structural and fire‑safety engineers, building services designers, airport/heliport operators, facility managers, and regulatory authorities in Russia and organizations implementing rooftop heliports. It is applied during project design reviews, safety assessments, construction inspections, and when specifying firefighting systems and rescue equipment for heliports.

Related standards

References and cross‑links in the document point to other Russian SPs and fire‑safety standards covering fire‑extinguishing installations, water supply and pump stations (for example SP 5.13130 and SP 8.13130 are used for detailed requirements on water/foam systems), electrical installation rules and other building codes that govern fire protection systems and equipment.
