To prevent flooding of the runway during monsoon season, the Ahmedabad based Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport, which is managed by the Adani Group, is building a nine kilometers long “storm water drain” line as part of its ongoing “structural overlay of runway” project.
“The two drainage lines being made parallel to each side of the runway will ensure that the water will not accumulate on the runway and ground. We are also in talks with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation to ensure that the storm water drainage system is connected to Sabarmati river,” an official privy to the construction told the Indian Express.
