It is no easy task for any airport operator to develop a solution when there comes an imminent requirement for facility. From meeting traffic demand to understanding possibility of quick expansion to running operations smoothly, the challenges are multiple and of equally daunting in nature.
The solution is modular prefabricated construction. It can help improve efficiency to a great extent, keep costs in check and provide a quick building solution to keep you going. It is particularly impossible to close down part of the operations at airport, while constructing an extra space. Reducing the number of workers and machinery are an effective way to create less disruption and keep operations going. Thus, modular prefabricated construction is a great solution for airport construction as it minimises hindrance arising from construction.
When to Consider Modularization
In modular construction, the regular building components are manufactured off site and then carried to the location for assembling like building blocks. Whether or not modular construction would be effective depends on your purpose and requirement. If you need an airport for temporary purpose while the existing main airport is undergoing renovation or if you need a permanent one, modular design has advantages in both cases.
For temporary space requirements, modular solutions are highly recommended. They are cost-effective, can be built fast and assembled in no time. A temporary space can be of great help in cases where existing airport or terminal concourse needs renovation. Passengers can be directed to the temporary terminal instead of having to close operations during the renovation period. This allows airports to run at full or near full capacity.
Once you have a temporary space, it can always be made into a permanent one. One who identifies that possibility before manufacturing, can save millions! That’s the advantage of modular construction.
Offsite Construction and Onsite Assembly Allows Smooth Operations
Offsite manufacturing and on-site assembly allows construction activities to progress concurrently. The structures are lightweight, albeit not weak. They can withstand heavy loads and weather conditions. Lightweight enables easy mobility. Once the components are readied, they can be assembled and installed during less traffic hours without having to disrupt operations or flight schedules.
It is recommended that the contractor and the designers work in close coordination during the construction of airport. It is important that everyone stays on the same page to ensure efficiency. Proper collaboration is also essential for completing project on time.
To sum it up, modular prefabricated construction is a great alternative to traditional construction when it comes to building airports or an airport extension project.

At EPACK Prefab, we made one of the first of its kind Pre-Engineered Airport Terminal Building in Ghaziabad Delhi NCR. This helped us proudly expand our portfolio to include airports as one of our flagship products. Since then, we have constructed more terminal buildings and continue to do so, across the country.
