In India, where Apurba Sarma leads the business as Manager-Business Development (Foreva), the company is well-positioned to meet the country's burgeoning infrastructure demands. As India's government prioritizes sustainable development, Foreva's innovative offerings are set to play a pivotal role in the nation's growth story. The company's dedication to environmental responsibility aligns seamlessly with India's aspirations for a cleaner and more resilient future.
Structural strengthening and repair are vital for maintaining the integrity and safety of civil engineering structures, from bridges to industrial installations. Whether addressing minor cracks or major foundation issues, structural repairs prevent further damage and extend the lifespan of these critical structures.
Even well-designed bridges require repair and protection when exposed to environmental factors and increased traffic loads, ensuring their intended design life is achieved.
India's geographical statistics underscore the need for such solutions, with a significant portion of the country vulnerable to earthquakes and other natural calamities. India's hot and humid tropical climate, coupled with coastal exposure to airborne chlorides, poses additional challenges. Many RCC and steel bridges in India are over a decade old, making them susceptible to various forms of structural degradation.
The repair & rehabilitation industry in India is burgeoning due to increased demand for the repair, strengthening, and protection of various commercial structures. The commercial sector, encompassing age-old bridges, buildings, hydraulic installations, historical landmarks, and industrial structures, represents substantial growth potential. As India's population grows and periodic maintenance becomes essential, the demand for commercial repairs is expected to rise significantly over the next two decades.
While the repair market in India is substantial, a professional and organized approach is critical for identifying structural issues and implementing advanced, sustainable solutions. Raising awareness, emphasizing the importance of maintenance, deepening knowledge, and employing innovative techniques are essential for success in this industry.
Despite the challenges, the growth of the repair industry is expected to be continuous due to visible manifestations of distress, such as cracks, delamination, deflection, failure, and even collapse, which pose significant safety risks.

In aging structures, identify the defects, understand the root cause of the pathology, specify suitable solutions, design and implement them require a wide field of expertise. The direct consequence is that setting up a repair or strengthening project is often complex and technical.
Underestimate this complexity lead to inefficient or non-durable repair works which are unfortunately still seen all over the world. However, this deficiency tends to disappear thanks to permanent raising consciousness of States Technical Bodies. Nowadays designers are assessing and specifying solutions which can demonstrate relevant performance and durability. This change of mindset and objective allow the development of cutting-edge technology applied to repair and strengthening of structure.
Freyssinet as a specialist company having a deep understanding of structure and material behaviour addressed this market decades ago. First in the countries where the repair and strengthening of structure become preeminent on new-build ones and where projects specification followed the strict objective of performance and durability versus which is traditionally called 'cosmetic repair'. Freyssinet solutions developed for this specific market have been regrouped under the umbrella of 'FOREVA' as the brand for excellence in repair, strengthening and protection of structures.
At Freyssinet Menard India, a specialized turnkey solution provider with over 60 years of experience, the FOREVA solution enables the execution of repair, protection, and retrofit works in India while adhering to industry standards and good engineering practices, all while respecting the environment. This commitment ensures the continued safety and sustainability of India's vital infrastructure.
