Monsoon not to wash out work on Bangalore airport

Bangalore: The air traffic control tower at the Bangalore international airport in Devanahalli is scaling heights. In one month, it has gone up by 7.5 metres. Finishing work is on at the two floor administrative and technical block.
At the redesigned terminal building, ground floor slabs are being laid, basement is done and the columns are coming up for the first floor. The worry about rains hampering work — as it did last year — has been addressed.
Haunted by the sceptre of October 2005, when heavy rains delayed the construction activity by a month-and-a-half, airport company, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), has worked out contingencies for this year's monsoon.
A layer of the Granular Sub Base (GSB) has been laid on the runway, taxiways and main access road, to ensure that the ongoing intermittent rain does not seep through to affect the mud.
