Kannur International Airport

Kannur International Airport is located at Mattanur, approximately 25 km from Kannur in Kerala.

 

The airport spans across 2000 acres of land and is situated atop a hillock. A significant portion of the construction process involves leveling the hill’s topography and embanking it to establish a tabletop airport.

 

The cost of development of the Mattanur International Airport Kerala project along with the betterment of the access roads was approx. 32 billion. Around 3 million international passengers use this airport and this number is continuously rising year on year.

 

Scope Of Work:

 

The scope of our BIM Services for Airport was to create an animation showing the stepwise development of the airport, airfield areas(starting with hill blasting, cutting, filling and leveling the top of the hillock and reinforced soil slope construction method using geo-grid.)

 

Also included the Surface preparation and treatment for the runway and airfield areas. This further entailed, a virtual tour of the airport from the airfield, showing airplane landing and lighting arrangement with signage placement in the runways and taxi ways at night. This included providing a sustainable and scalable model to best serve the project requirements to maintain the airfield operations going with our expert BIM Services and Solutions for Airports.

Pinnacle's Value Addition:

 

Kannur International Airport, Kerala aimed to showcase the earthwork, focusing solely on air-side and land-side development, particularly crucial as the airport is situated atop a hillock. Leveling the hill's peak and embanking it to establish a tabletop airport posed a significant challenge. This involved meticulous detailing of the earthwork process at the hilltop, including stages such as hill blasting, cutting, filling, and leveling, alongside the implementation of reinforced soil slope construction methods using geo-grid. Additionally, surface preparation and treatment for the runway and air-side area were addressed. With our expertise in Building Information Modeling for Airports, we leveraged the most relevant tools and resources to provide the benefits of BIM in airport construction to the client.
