5 Important Points Every Airport Project must consider before Starting Construction

Air travel has come a long way in India. It is no longer considered as a luxury or a preferred mode of the rich. The advantages are many and include: comfort and shorter travel time. As air travel becomes common, old and unused airports are receiving due attention with new airport construction taking off on a larger scale. A few examples of this trend are the renewing of airports in Belgaum that takes care of air travel in North Karnataka and South Maharashtra, and the modernisation of Goa airport.
Investing in airport construction is not all about improving mobility for people; it is more about providing an impetus to business and industry, more particularly to the tourism industry. Though the Indian air-travel industry is highly developed, there is yet a vast area that still does provide access to air travel. Building new airports in remote corners of the country is a priority of the Indian government.

Airport Construction Challenges

Airport construction once used to be the exclusive domain of the Indian government, but this has changed dramatically with the government deregulating and liberalising the airport construction process in which private parties participate extensively. Yet another policy change that is likely to give the fresh push to the airport construction industry is the introduction of private airports for parking corporate-owned jets.
Constructing airports and maintaining them can be a challenging work both for the airport management and the construction companies. The biggest challenge is the designing process that requires a good layout and use of technologies that make passenger clearance a streamlined process. In addition to this is the airport security issue. When speaking about airport security, we are not just facing the terrorism issue; there is more to it — safe baggage handling, pre-boarding and post boarding, and proper aircraft movement are the other issues that need to be addressed adequately.

Considerations in Constructing Airports

Airport structures are expected to go through extended lifecycle phase and therefore must cheap to maintain and add to this they must be also aesthetically appealing. Though the terminal is the principal area that should receive maximum attention, it is also imperative to consider other supporting facilities. Here a few things to keep in mind when constructing an airport.
  1. Provide adequate space for passenger movement within the terminal for ticketing, restaurant and rest rooms.
  2. Provide automated steel multi-level car parking space to facilitate easier movement for passengers and handling of air cargo.
  3. Provide structures for meeting emergency handling space to evacuate passengers during a fire or natural calamity.
  4. Use materials that are less prone to damage from fire and salty moisture.
  5. Provide a futuristic baggage handling system in international airports for easy clearance from customs.

The Advantages of Steel PEB in Corporate Multi-level Car Parking

With public transport systems getting overcrowded in Indian cities and commuting time increasing by the day, the need for personal transportation is on the rise. India is home to a large number of aspiring middle-class families and with rising affluence and a larger disposable income, more people are aspiring to own a car. More cars on the roads mean more congestion and a severe shortage of parking space. To control congestion, traffic polices in most Indian cities prohibit the parking of cars by the roadside in business areas. The affected are not just the shoppers; even executives and employees of corporate companies based in places like Goa and Belgaum feel the pinch when they have to park their cars on a busy road. Increasingly, corporate companies are finding it extremely difficult to provide parking space to its employees because land prices are shooting upward, and more importantly there isn’t any land around to buy. Though the situation appears to be dismal, not everything ...

The Advantages of Steel Buildings Vs Cost Disadvantages of Normal Buildings in Warehouse Construction

Storing manufactured products and agricultural produce before transporting them to consuming points is a work. For many people, a warehouse is just a storage point but from an experts perspective, it is a complex process in which, warehouse construction cost , safe storage, material handling compatibility and owning all play a major role. Not all produce can be stored in a similar building. For example a cold storage warehouse will need a lower ceiling, while a warehouse for process machinery may require taller vertical space. There is still some equipment such as electric transformers and earth-moving equipment that may require an open yard with fuelling facilities. Open yard doesn’t mean lesser complexity; it has its own complex nuances. Warehousing as a Business Service Large manufacturing and supply-chain businesses have their own warehouses but smaller operators usually use warehousing businesses for stocking and distribution of their products. Warehouses that offer wa...

Cold Storage as a Business Investment Option for Quicker Bigger Returns

One of the major stumbling blocks in the food and medicine supply and distribution chain is proper storage and logistic shortcomings. While most of the farm-fresh food is produced in remote locations in under-connected rural areas, large-scale consumption areas are the big metropolitan cities. It is estimated that farmers lose close to 50% of their perishable farm produce due to lack of proper cold storage and processing facilities locally. Perishable produces include milk, fruits, fish, meat and vegetables. If only cold storages can be established, most problems associated with selling farmers’ produce can be solved. Cold storage business in India , though in its nascent stage is considered as a sound business opportunity that is yet to be escalated and exploited by entrepreneurs on a large scale. Cold storage investment is considered to be highly profitable though it entails bigger investment. It offers enormous potential in areas such as Belgaum, Goa, North Karnataka and South...
