Bhogapuram Airport Terminal Designed to Withstand Severe Cyclones with Advanced Glass Facade
The Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport terminal in Bhogapuram features a design inspired by marine life and built to withstand severe cyclonic conditions. Following Cyclone Hudhud in 2014, which damaged the previous Visakhapatnam airport, the new terminal is engineered to endure wind speeds up to 275 kmph and heavy rainfall, exceeding Indian safety codes. Its facade includes 21 metres of continuous glass designed with reinforced bolt-and-nut fixings to resist extreme wind loads, reflecting lessons learned from the storm's impact.
