Marine Consultants Inc Heliport

Economic reasons, specifically the closure of the operating company. The heliport was a private facility for Marine Consultants, Inc. When the company ceased operations and was dissolved, the associated heliport was closed as it no longer had an operator or purpose.

The site has been completely repurposed for industrial and commercial use. The property at the heliport's coordinates (7007 Harrisburg Blvd, Houston, TX) is now occupied by a Sunbelt Rentals facility, specifically their Climate Control services division. There are no visible remnants of the heliport; the land and buildings are used for equipment rental and storage.

The Marine Consultants Inc Heliport was a private-use facility strategically located adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel. Its primary role was to support the logistical needs of its parent company, a marine surveying and consulting firm deeply involved in Houston's maritime and offshore energy industries. Operations would have included the rapid transport of personnel, surveyors, engineers, and clients to vessels within the Port of Houston, to offshore oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, and to other industrial sites not easily accessible by ground. Its significance was not public but was vital for the company's specific business operations, providing a competitive advantage in a time-sensitive industry.

Effectively zero. The original company no longer exists, and the property has been fully redeveloped and is occupied by an unrelated business with no apparent need for aviation operations. Re-establishing a heliport at this location would require a new initiative from the current or future landowners, a new and lengthy FAA and local approval process, and significant construction. There are no known plans or proposals to do so.
