GMR Hyderabad Airport
Railing Project
Stainless steel and glass railing systems for the GMR Hyderabad International Airport expansion, delivered under L&T Construction across six years of continuous engagement from September 2018 to October 2024, recorded under job code LE180818.
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 ran under L&T Construction from September 2018 to October 2024 under job code LE180818, spanning successive work orders in both Composite/Specialized Sub-Contractor and Labour Subcontractor capacities — six years of continuous engagement on a single international airport.
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 terminal and concourse railing systems for GMR Hyderabad Airport at its Jeedimetla Industrial Estate facility and installed them on site, coordinating phased delivery aligned to airport construction and fit-out milestones between 2018 and 2024. Delivery followed the principal contractor’s full quality process: material test certificates reviewed and resubmitted to L&T QA/QC, method statements and shop drawings approved, and a physical mockup signed off before production release.
Drawing-based scope from consultant-approved specifications and contractor BOQ packages. The following zones and system types are documented in the Sun Railings GMR Hyderabad Airport project record.
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.
Sun Railings operates as a manufacturer-direct manufacturer at Jeedimetla Industrial Estate, Hyderabad since 2001. All structural members are fabricated in-house with coordinated site installation aligned to contractor and airport authority programme milestones.
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.
