Chennai airport to get 602m long travelator

7/18/2009 1:57:00 PM

Chennai, June (EPC News): In a few years, the Chennai airport will have a 602-metre long travelator (conveyor belt for people movement).

The travelator will extend from the eastern end of the upcoming new domestic terminal and go all the way up to the western end of the upcoming new international terminal.

The elevated motorway is being constructed as part of the Rs 2,121-crore airport expansion-cum-modernization project, which is being implemented by the Chennai-based Consolidated Construction Consortium Ltd.

Unlike in most international airports, the travelator is coming up outside the terminal buildings, at a mezzanine level underneath an elevated motorway on which passengers drive down to their respective departure points.

The elevated motorway links either end of the airport to the GST Road, the city road at which the airport lies. The travelator is to be housed in an aluminium-clad concrete tube with glass side-walls. On either side of the ‘connector tube’ will be granite-paved 1-metre-wide space for people to walk in case they choose not to use the belts.
