MUMBAI: National carrier Air-India will appoint a project management consultant within two months for designing and constructing a new cargo terminal at the international airport at Devanahalli in suburban Bangalore.
The carrier has invited expression of interests for the PMC, which will design and construct the new cargo terminal in 15 months, a top AI official said.
The project cost is estimated at Rs 41 crore.
"We won the contract for cargo handling. The PMC would be appointed in two months and the building would be ready in 15 months," the official said.
The PMC would assist the AI-led consortium for the design, construction and maintenance of the project and for all other related specialist works.
The PMC has to administer the construction and ensure that all the equipment and systems are tested and commissioned in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and contract and sub-contract specifications.
This has to be handed over to the AI consortium after completion of construction work.
AI, along with its consortium partners, Singapore Airport Terminal Services Ltd (SATS), Bangalore-based Bobba Group and UK's Menzies Global Aviation, had bagged the cargo handling contract for the Bangalore International Airport Ltd, which includes freight-handling service for a period of 20 years from April 2008, when the airport is expected to commence operation.
The Bangalore airport currently handles 1.5 lakh tonne of cargo, which is expected to double over next three years.
