The terminal interiors are clad in engineered bamboo inspired by traditional Indian cane weaving, to gives the terminal a “contemporary yet classic” look and feel. “The engineered bamboos used for the first time in India, are fire retardant and long-lasting, while the gardens and forest cover naturally cleanse the air, said by BIAL. 

Larsen & Toubro is the construction provider for this project; an Indian multinational engaged in EPC Projects, Hi-Tech Manufacturing and Services. Their bespoke bamboo package has high level requirements in performance: fire performance, toxicity, durability, biological protection and aesthetics. The overall package included column and ceiling cladding assemblies for the exterior and interior environments, in different configurations. The combination of construction engineering, engineered bamboo, and finish execution required for this project require a partner that is rooted in engineered bamboo architectural services and high-level commercial execution. The engineered bamboo solution needed to address all disciplines from the material science level, architectural standards, and localized execution. In the end, there were only two qualified companies to supply for this milestone project which altPlus was fortunate to be selected to. The winning bid for the major package was awarded to Lindner Group / Moso International, while altPlus was selected as the supplier in the later fit-and-finish stage, especially supporting with custom, curved, components for the interior and exterior.
