Development of new airports is seeing an emergence of new materials and designs.
When the government launched the UDAN-RCS (regional connectivity scheme), it gave hope to millions of Indians who always wanted to fly, but could not afford to. The scheme has two components, of which the main component was to develop new and enhance existing ones thus increasing the number of operational ones. This spelt good news to the common man and also to the numerous companies who cater mainly to the development and construction of airports.
Explaining the intricacies of what constitutes an airport, Ajay Rattan, GM, sales, construction & engineering LYSAGHT business, Tata Bluescope Steel, says, “Airports are no longer mere transportation hubs; they are iconic in terms of transit experiences for a traveller, a landmark for the city dweller and modern architectural expression of a progressive country. The requirements of this sector are both complex and unique. A geometrical design or shape of a contemporary airport structure determines the complexity of the project. More and more architects today opt for non-conventional shapes that ensure more open spaces and aesthetics.”
Modern airports are getting smarter, and not just bigger. Airports too need to improve profitability and for this reason are being driven towards operational efficiency and cost reduction. Considering that most airports around the world face capacity constraints, the best way is to introduce new technologies to improve efficiencies.
