    Airport construction in Nepal

    Nijgard, nepal
    About

     Nijgadh International Airport  is a proposed hub-airport, located in Kolhabi, directly


    68 km (42 mi) to the south of Kathmandu, near the town of Nijgadh in Province No. 2, 
    Nepal. It is targeted to be completed by 2025 with an estimated investment of USD 6.7
    billion[1]. If constructed, it would be the largest airport in South Asia and the fourth
    largest airport in the world in terms of land area.[2] The airport is intended to relieve
    expected capacity restraints at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu.
    Civil engineering for construction of Airport

     The Civil Engineering Department, consisting of Civil and Structural Engineers,


    undertakes structural design of passenger and cargo terminals, aircraft hangars,
    runways and other pavements, technical buildings for installation of airport ground aids
    etc. for AAI's in-house requirements and consultancy projects. To ensure timely
    completion of projects, without cost overrun, the department adopts its proven
    technique of deputing a Project In-charge for each of the projects undertaken, within
    the organization and on consultancy basis, with adequate delegated powers.
     The department is facilitated by in-house soil and material testing laboratory and the R&D
    Unit which have rendered valuable work on engineering especially in utilization of
    locally available material, adoption of new techniques for pavement design and
    pavement evaluation etc. The safety aspects of aircraft operations like maintenance of
    friction level of runway and riding quality of runway surface are also ensured by the
    Civil Engineering Department.
     The project management teams, under the Project In-charges carry out the bulk of activities
    including project monitoring, contract management and quality control. The department has
    proven track record in successfully completing major projects undertaken by AAI at
    international level, under difficult logistics and varying climatic conditions prevailing at
    project's sites and also during the construction of strategically important airports in India like
    the airport at 'Agatti' in the Lakshwadeep islands and the airport at Leh at 10,683 ft. AMSL.
    AAI has successfully completed the New Terminal Building Project at Jaipur, Udaipur,
    Srinagar, Dehradun, Cooch Behar, Gaya, Dibrugarh, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Pune, Calicut,
    Vizag, Trichy, and Mangalore. New Terminal Building projects are under construction at
    Varanasi, Lucknow, Barapani, Ranchi, Raipur, Madurai, Mysore, Coimbatore, Ahmedabad,
    Bhopal and Indore. A new greenfield airport at Pakyong, which became the only airport in
    the State of Sikkim, is coming up with latest terramesh/green terramesh technology where
    the height of cut/fill is up to 50 meter. Planning for new green field airports at Cheithu,
    Itanagar to handle ATR-72 type of aircraft with ILS facility is in progress.
     A separate wing under the Civil Engineering Department normally looks after the day to
    day maintenance requirements of the civil engineering aspects of airport management
    and operations. The Civil Engineering Department of AAI is not only capable but
    willing to accept any challenge in the field of airport civil engineering to add additional
    feathers in its cap.

    Conclusion

     Donor funding is unlikely for such a big project. Moreover, implementation shall be prolonged due
     to complex requirements of the donors. It will be a waste of time and loosing of priority if foreign
     investment either by PPP/BOT or by multilateral agency funding is attempted for such a green field
     project .
     • Take up Phase I with minimum provisions with a five year target for about $200 million per year on
     100% GON funding. International consultants and contractors to be used only for those tasks
     beyond domestic capacity.
     • Coordinate with FT and KKHTH projects and facilitate their accelerated implementation. Initial 20
     km of the FT is common to FT and HHHTH and should be completed in 3 years time by DOR under
     100 % GON funding. Tolling to be applied for the remaining sections in both the FT and KKHTH.
