Herauf
Helicopters.
A new aviation division of Herauf Enterprises, taking flight soon.
Where no road goes,
the home flies in.
Erickson Air-Crane and Sikorsky Skycrane heavy-lift helicopters place Herauf modules directly on site, for housing and multi-stack structures in communities a truck cannot reach.

Concept rendering, rail and road stage
Road, rail, barge, then air
Modules travel as far as the highway, the rail network, and the water allow, then fly the last stretch. A fly-in community no longer waits on a three-week ice road that may never freeze hard enough, and no longer loses a year when it doesn’t. We plan the whole chain, and the last leg is the one nobody else can offer.
- Partnership opportunities
- Canadian Armed Forces, CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift capability.
- Funding opportunities
- Federal and provincial government housing and infrastructure programs.
- First pilot project
- St. Theresa Point First Nation has agreed to be the initial pilot community for land-locked Indigenous communities in Northern Canada.
Shot from the air, over our own work.
More than a scenic flight.
Tours and charter fund the hangar. The work that matters is what the aircraft can do for a community, a crew, or a project that has run out of road.
Indigenous rapid housing
Completed homes flown into fly-in communities, year round.
Heavy-lift placement
Air-crane capability brought to projects that need it, ours to coordinate end to end.
Emergency and wildfire response
Crew, supply, and accommodation movement when a community has to act now.
Survey and resource support
Oil field support and LIDAR survey work across western Canada.
Robinson R66 Turbine
Taking flight soon
