Airports Authority of India

INDIAN AIRPORTS

• Vulnerable to a large number of natural, as well as, human-made

disasters

• Airports which have critical role, often affected by disasters

• Nearest airport can quickly become overwhelmed due to the large

volume of incoming relief supplies

• Airports play a critical role in quick disaster relief operations

DISASTER RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE

• Infrastructure systems that can anticipate, absorb, adapt to and

or rapidly recover from a disruptive hazardous event considered

resilient

• This includes structural and non-structural measures

• Flood control systems, protective embankments, seawall

rehabilitation, building codes, retrofitting of buildings, risk-

sensitive planning, hazard mapping and disaster risk financing

CHENNAI FLOODS

The airport is located in low lying area with adayar river

flowing adjacent

• Constructions of new/ expansion of existing drains within the

airport

• Installation of Hydraulic shutters to control backflow of water

• Diversion of external storm water drain into Adyar River

• This would reduce significant amount of storm water load entering

the airport

• Further, the adjacent localities also don’t have a dedicated storm

water drain

• Hence this external diversion of storm water drain would benefit

the airport

THE REINFORCED WALL

SALIENT DESIGN ASPECT CONSIDERED IN PAKYONG FOR NATURAL DISASTER –

ENGINEERING MARVEL

• The first ever Greenfield airport in North east at high altitude

• Constructed on the side slope of Dikling hill involving filling upto 74mtrs & clearing upto 55 mtrs.

• Difficult topography and hostile weather conditions

• Sustainable designing engineering services

• Water channel provided below RWY

• Almost vertical high strength earth retaining structures with geo-gridsdue to non-availability of required land width for global slopes.

• Environment friendly earth retaining structures with no steel cement &having vertical vegetation for slope protection.

3 Human Life

Detector

The Life Detection System will be used by

Rescue Workers to determine, without

risking lives by entering, whether anyone

is trapped inside a burning or collapsed

building. It should help to locate trapped

or marooned victims in a disaster area,

reducing both search time and danger to

rescuers and to find lost or Injured

people faster in hostile terrain, bad

weather, collapsed trenches, even

underwater. The system should have the

discrimination capability for detecting

only living human beings and not

decease humans or living animals.

4 Victim

Equipment

Victim location systems to be acquired

are designed for location and rescue of

victims trapped under debris during

natural calamities or in mine collapses or

confined space disasters.
