Project Overview

Programme Summary

Sun Railings delivered stainless steel and glass railing systems – frameless glass railings and SS glass railing systems – for GMR Hyderabad International Airport terminal and concourse infrastructure. The programme was delivered as a major package in the 3,000 to 5,500 running metre range, reflecting the scale Sun Railings brings to flagship transit and infrastructure clients.

Client / Project Context

Sector Requirements and Programme Background

International airport terminals require railing systems that combine high-traffic durability, unobstructed sightlines for wayfinding and security, and long-service-life performance under continuous passenger footfall. Airport authorities and PMC teams specify SS and glass balustrades with documented IS compliance for tender submission and facilities handover.

Sun Railings fabricated and installed terminal and concourse railing systems for GMR Hyderabad Airport from Jeedimetla Industrial Estate, coordinating phased delivery aligned to airport construction and fit-out milestones.

Materials and Systems Used

Specification and Compliance

Terminal railing systems were fabricated from SS304 and SS316 grade stainless steel structural members with toughened and laminated glass infill, specified for high-traffic zones where post-breakage retention is required per airport safety standards.

IS 875 Part 2 structural compliance, IS 2553 glass certification and NBC 2016 balustrade height confirmation are supplied for PMC and authority submission. Mill test certificates and material test documentation support airport facilities and consultant handover requirements.

Engineering and Installation Approach

Fabrication and Site Execution

Sun Railings operates as a manufacturer-direct manufacturer at Jeedimetla Industrial Estate, Hyderabad since 1998. All structural members are fabricated in-house with coordinated site installation aligned to contractor and airport authority programme milestones.

Consultant Drawing Review
Airport authority and PMC drawings reviewed for post centres, glass thickness and fixing details before Jeedimetla fabrication release.
Terminal-Zone Phasing
Fabrication and site delivery programmed to terminal and concourse fit-out milestones.
Factory Fabrication
All structural SS members fabricated at Jeedimetla – direct control over weld quality, finish and schedule.
Quality Inspection
Incoming material, in-process weld and pre-dispatch dimensional checks against approved drawings.
Project Outcomes

Programme Results and Authority

The GMR Hyderabad Airport programme strengthens Sun Railings transit and infrastructure credentials, providing named evidence for airport authorities, contractors and PMC teams specifying terminal railing at major-package scale. This reference sits alongside Sun Railings delivery of all 46 Hyderabad Metro Rail stations (2013 to 2021), demonstrating capacity across large-scale transit infrastructure sectors from a single Hyderabad fabrication base.
