PRANCE Metalwork Building Material Co., Ltd is proud to announce the successful completion of its latest milestone project: the Round Tube Aluminum Ceiling System at Cochin International Airport (IATA: COK), Kerala, India. This landmark installation brings together traditional cultural aesthetics and high-performance engineering in the international departure lounge of Terminal 3, reaffirming PRANCE's commitment to innovative design and architectural excellence in public infrastructure.

India's Gateway to the World

Cochin International Airport, located approximately 25 kilometers northeast of Kochi, Kerala, is the busiest airport in the state and one of India's major international gateways. With over 10 million annual passengers, it ranks fifth in international passenger traffic nationwide. Opened in 1999, the airport is globally recognized for its achievements, including being the first airport in the world fully powered by solar energy and receiving the prestigious UN "Champion of the Earth" award for its sustainable initiatives.

Terminal 3, the focus of this project, is inspired by Kerala's iconic Thrissur Pooram festival. The terminal combines cultural symbolism with modern architecture and features 84 check-in counters and 80 immigration counters, demanding both aesthetics and structural sophistication in its construction. The architectural challenge was clear: the ceiling must reflect the elegance of local heritage while performing flawlessly in a high-traffic, large-span environment.

Round Profile Baffle Ceiling: Form Meets Function

To meet these requirements, PRANCE supplied and installed its signature Round Profile Baffle Ceiling system in the departure lounge. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy and finished with a wood grain powder coating, the product offers a natural wood-like appearance while delivering long-term durability, corrosion resistance, fire retardancy, and moisture protection.

Its lightweight yet rigid structure is ideal for the scale and function of international airport interiors.

The ceiling system was installed using a concealed suspension carrier, ensuring clean linear alignment and a seamless finish. The warm tone of the wood grain complements Terminal 3's cultural motif while enhancing natural light reflection throughout the space.

Tackling Complexity with Precision Engineering

The Cochin Airport project posed a series of architectural and technical challenges, each addressed by PRANCE's experienced engineering team:

*
Large-span Installation: The vast lounge required segmented prefabricated ceiling units and reinforced suspension designs to ensure both structural safety and visual harmony.

*
MEP Coordination: Given the extensive HVAC and lighting systems, PRANCE pre-designed the ceiling panels with reserved openings and access points to accommodate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing integrations.

*
Tight Project Timeline: In line with the airport's strict operational schedule, all ceiling panels were pre-manufactured off-site and delivered ready for rapid installation, supported by a skilled on-site team.

*
Complex Geometry: Terminal 3 features curved and multi-angled roof structures. The client specified that all beveled round tubes be factory-cut with zero on-site adjustment, requiring absolute precision in measurement, design, and production. PRANCE engineers utilized custom connectors and flexible installation methods to meet this requirement, resulting in flawless on-site assembly.

The result is a clean, rhythmic layout of round aluminum tubes that mirrors the grandeur of the space, harmonizing with Kerala's cultural identity while optimizing function and durability. The airport authority praised the ceiling for enhancing comfort, visual continuity, and long-term maintenance efficiency.
