Hyco Heliport Nr 3 Heliport

The closure was a result of economic and corporate changes. The heliport was a private asset of Hyco Inc. After the company was acquired by Dana Corporation in 1997, non-core assets like a private heliport are often decommissioned. The subsequent redevelopment of the land by a different company for a large industrial plant sealed its fate.

The site is no longer an aviation facility. The land at these coordinates is now fully occupied by a large industrial manufacturing plant owned by Dragon Products, Ltd., a company that builds heavy-duty equipment for the energy and industrial sectors. There are no visible remnants of the former heliport.

Hyco Heliport Nr 3 was a private heliport owned by Hyco Inc., a prominent manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders. Located in the industrial heart of Beaumont, its primary purpose was to support corporate operations. It likely handled the transport of company executives, key personnel, and time-sensitive materials between its facilities and regional business hubs like Houston. The 'Nr 3' designation suggests it was part of a network of at least three heliports operated by the company, underscoring the role of private air transport in its business model, which was closely tied to the region's heavy industry and oil and gas sector.

There are zero prospects for reopening. The site has been completely and permanently redeveloped for a different industrial use by a different company. The original operator no longer exists in its original form, and the physical infrastructure of the heliport is gone.
