Noida’s Upcoming Jewel: Jewar Airport Sets Sights on Becoming India’s Green Beacon

How 3D Digital Models Enable Sustainable Water Management for India’s First Net-zero Airport

In Uttar Pradesh, an ambitious endeavor is taking shape that aims to redefine the future of air travel in India. The Noida International Airport, more popularly known as Jewar Airport, is on track to set a new benchmark as the nation’s largest airport and its very first to achieve net-zero emissions. This ground-breaking project not only aims to minimize its carbon footprint but also sets a precedent for sustainable development in the aviation sector.

Spread out over an expansive 5,000 hectares and developed in four strategic phases, Jewar Airport is anticipated to be a marvel of modern engineering and environmental stewardship. The design includes multiple runways and two state-of-the-art terminal buildings, ensuring it can cater to approximately 120 million passengers each year upon reaching full operational capacity.

At the heart of its architectural and operational philosophy, the airport integrates a holistic approach to water management. This encompasses a sophisticated network for water supply, wastewater, and stormwater, designed to harvest and reuse water efficiently while also providing robust protection against flooding. Such innovative features aim to prevent flooding for at least 100 years while lowering the need for outside sources of water by 90,000 cubic meters per year.

Crafting the blueprint for this eco-friendly airport required overcoming numerous challenges, particularly in designing its complex facilities. Ramboll India utilizes OpenFlows and STAAD of Bentley System to leverage the latest technology and develop comprehensive 3D digital models. These models were instrumental in designing an effective and sustainable water system connecting every facet of the airport, ensuring resilience against flooding for a century and reducing lifecycle carbon emissions.

The anticipation surrounding the completion of Jewar Airport’s first phase is palpable, with expectations set for it to commence operations later this year. This venture not only marks a significant leap towards sustainable infrastructure but also demonstrates India’s commitment to embracing innovative solutions for environmental challenges. As the country’s first net-zero airport, Jewar is poised to become a model for airports worldwide, showcasing how technology and sustainability can coexist to pave the way for a greener future in aviation.
