DIAL GMR – IGI Airport Steel Formwork Project

About this Project

GISF Engineering Pvt. Ltd. successfully executed a prestigious infrastructure fabrication project for Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, New Delhi, one of the most important aviation hubs in India. The project involved fabrication and supply of specialized steel formwork systems used in critical airport construction works, highlighting GISF’s expertise in precision fabrication for complex and high-profile infrastructure developments.

The order was awarded through L&T Construction on behalf of Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), part of the GMR Group. The project demanded exceptional quality, dimensional accuracy, and adherence to strict construction and safety standards due to the sensitive nature of airport infrastructure.

Client

Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL – GMR Group)

DIAL, a GMR Group-led consortium, is responsible for the development, operation, and modernization of IGI Airport, New Delhi. For this project, GISF Engineering was entrusted with the fabrication and supply of steel formwork systems, reflecting the client’s confidence in GISF’s manufacturing capability and quality assurance practices.

Project Location

Indira Gandhi International Airport
New Delhi, India

IGI Airport is India’s busiest airport in terms of passenger and cargo traffic and serves as the primary international gateway to the country. It is also globally recognized and consistently ranked among the world’s top airports in its category.

Scope of Work

GISF Engineering’s scope of work for the DIAL GMR project included:

Fabrication and supply of steel formwork systems
Formwork for columns, raft foundations, and roof structures
Precision manufacturing to meet tight dimensional tolerances
High-strength steel fabrication suitable for repetitive construction use
Quality inspection and readiness for on-site deployment

GISF successfully supplied over 600 metric tonnes of steel structural components, ensuring consistency, durability, and performance required for large-scale airport construction activities.

Project Significance

IGI Airport plays a vital role in India’s aviation ecosystem. It is:

The busiest airport in India for both passengers and cargo
A major international aviation hub connecting India to global destinations
Ranked among the top airports globally in its operational category
