Larsen & Toubro has bagged the order worth Rs.263 crore from China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) for the construction of the passenger terminal building at the proposed Hyderabad International Airport.

State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) are the main contractors for a part of the airport project package.

The new airport, to be located at Shamshabad, is promoted by the HIAL, a partnership initiative between the GMR Group, the Government of Andhra Pradesh and the Airports Authority of India.

The new terminal building, spread across 11.5 lakh sq.ft, is being built to handle an estimated 5 million passengers per year, and will conform to the standards at major global airports. 

State-of-the-art facilities include a panoramic canopied hall where visitors and passengers can congregate and multi-level bays for arrival and departure. 

Twin wings of the central building will handle international and domestic traffic, while transparent glazing all around the building will provide an aesthetic sheen to the entire structure. 

Other high tech construction features include insulated metal profiled curved roofing supported over structural steel truss, and tensile fabric roofing membrane covering 75,000 sq.ft of the canopied hall.
