Why SS316 for Airport and Coastal Projects

Bhogapuram is a coastal location — 12km from the Bay of Bengal. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion in standard SS304. Sun Railings specified SS316 throughout for its 2–3% molybdenum content, which gives it 3× the corrosion resistance of SS304 in chloride environments.

Frequently Asked Questions — Airport Railing Projects

Which railing material is best for airport terminals in coastal locations?

SS316 marine-grade stainless steel is the correct specification for coastal airport terminals. The 2–3% molybdenum content resists chloride-induced corrosion from salt air. Sun Railings used SS316 throughout the Bhogapuram Airport project for exactly this reason — the site is 12km from the Bay of Bengal.

What railing height is required for airport staircases and balconies in India?

NBC 2016 and AAI standards require 1050mm minimum railing height for public-access areas in airports. MORTH specifies the same for transit infrastructure. Sun Railings fabricated all Bhogapuram Airport railing to 1050mm with IS 875 Part 2 load compliance (1.5 kN/m horizontal).

Does Sun Railings handle large-scale airport and infrastructure railing contracts?

Yes. Sun Railings has the factory capacity and site team to handle airport, metro rail, hospital, and institutional railing contracts of 1,000–10,000+ linear feet. Our completed projects include Bhogapuram Airport, GMR Hyderabad Airport, L&T Metro Rail, Pune Metro, Chennai Metro, AIIMS Guntur, IIT Hyderabad, and IIT Bhilai. All fabricated at our Jeedimetla factory, Hyderabad.

Can Sun Railings supply railing for a project outside Hyderabad?

Yes. Sun Railings has delivered projects across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Chhattisgarh. The Bhogapuram Airport project in Andhra Pradesh, AIIMS Guntur, and IIT Bhilai in Chhattisgarh are examples of our pan-India capability.
