The plans are ambitious. However, it is not easy. One of the most financially draining and complex projects are construction and renovation of airports. Yet the government has announced plans to construct 100 airports by 2024 to aid the UDAN scheme. That was before Covid-19 hit the world.
Now even existing airports are barely functioning, unless they are carrying emergency supplies. But the fact remains that a growing urban population demands that more airports be built and expanded so as to accommodate larger number of fliers.
In order to better understand the nuances of airports, Construction Week organised a webinar to highlight some key takeaways that need to be remembered for building or renovating or expanding airports. Our panellists comprised:
• Chintan Shukla, VP, project planning and design and head of design, GVK Airports
• K Ranjan, head of quality, L&T Construction (Chennai Airport)
• Umashankar, head of quality, L&T Construction (Delhi Airport)
• H Ravikumar, AVP and regional head, Chennai, Shapoorji Pallonji E&C
• Jairam Panch, VP, and MD, Turner Project Management India
