Reinventing Ground Support: Building Resilience Beneath India’s Growth Story

Reinventing Ground Support: Building Resilience Beneath India’s Growth Story

As India accelerates into an era of rapid industrialization and infrastructure expansion, its role in driving global transitions—from critical mineral extraction to green energy and urban transformation—has never been more pivotal. Amidst this shift, the demand for robust, reliable, and sustainable underground infrastructure is soaring.

Ground support technologies have become the invisible backbone of modern development—ensuring safety, stability, and efficiency in everything from tunneling and mining to energy corridors and urban utilities. Preventing ground collapse, managing water ingress, and ensuring structural reinforcement are no longer just operational requirements—they’re strategic imperatives.

Historically, India has relied heavily on imported ground control products, resulting in logistical delays, cost inefficiencies, and limited adaptability. The need for a strategic shift towards indigenous, end-to-end tunneling solutions has never been more urgent.

Minova Runaya: A Partnership Driving India’s Geotechnical Evolution

To meet this challenge head-on, global expertise is joining forces with Indian innovation. A landmark example is the Minova–Runaya joint venture. Combining Minova’s 140-year legacy in advanced ground support with Runaya’s breakthrough capabilities in circular manufacturing, this collaboration is reshaping India’s tunneling and mining landscape.

Together, we’ve established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bhilwara, Rajasthan—bringing world-class geotechnical solutions to Indian soil, and powering the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision through localized innovation.

Leading the Next Chapter in Underground Safety

Minova Runaya is committed to transforming underground operations through a comprehensive suite of advanced ground support solutions tailored to India’s diverse geological conditions. From rock bolts and resin capsules to injection chemicals and ventilation systems, our solutions are engineered for performance, safety, and sustainability.

This isn't just about product supply—it's about solving complex ground engineering challenges with precision and purpose.

Pioneering Innovations in Ground Support Technologies

Here’s how we are pushing boundaries with high-performance, next-gen materials and solutions:

• Self-Drilling Anchors (SDA):
  
  Designed for unstable formations—sand, silt, clay, and fractured rock—our SDAs ensure superior reinforcement and ease of installation, backed by rigorous quality testing.
• Injection Chemicals (PU and Silicate Grouts):
  
  Offering rapid setting and structural consolidation across varied ground conditions, our grouts anchor, seal, and protect against water and gas infiltration.
• Steel Bolts, Wire Mesh & GFRP:
  
  From high-grade steel reinforcements to lightweight Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer options, our portfolio ensures optimal strength-to-weight ratios with certified durability.
• Pumpable and Capsule Grouts:
  
  With industry-first capsule grout technology and high-performance pumpable grouts, we offer versatile anchoring and void-filling solutions for critical support zones.
• Sprayed Membranes and Coatings:
  
  Our wet and dry sprayed solutions serve as structural or waterproofing barriers—enhancing long-term ground control in both subterranean and exposed environments.
