Nagpur: The hot mix plant for the runway recarpeting work of Dr Babasaheb International Airport, Nagpur, is being set up in MIHAN area of the airport. Unlike previous occasions, the plant is not being set up in the open area near the radar building as the authorities realized it might affect the upgraded air traffic control (ATC) equipment.
"We realized that the fumes coming out of the plants clog the air filtering systems in the radar building and that could affect our equipment. So it was decided that the hot mix plant will be shifted from there," said an airport official. The location of plant has been shifted to MIHAN side of the airport from where it will have direct access to the runway.
Currently, the level survey of the runway is being conducted in which variations in the levels of the runway strip is measured in grids of three metres each.
