The demand for geomembranes is surging, propelled by large-scale investments in transportation tunnels for road and rail transportation tunnels, dam rehabilitation funded by global entities like the World Bank, and energy storage Initiatives such as pump hydro projects.
In addition, the implementation of BIS 15909:2020 standards by the Indian government has spurred the adoption of these contemporary geomembranes for basements, extended basements (podiums), and roof waterproofing applications across commercial, residential, and institutional sectors. With a focus on stringent quality standards and backward integration, Miraishield, a part of Marvel Vinyls Ltd, is well-positioned to cater to the nation’s critical infrastructure needs.
High-Performance Geomembrane Solutions
Miraishield manufactures a comprehensive range of geomembranes including PVC, PVC Geocomposite, HDPE, TPO, and EVA variants, along with advanced waterproofing systems. The company has been pivotal in reducing India’s reliance on imported geomembranes by delivering geomembranes that adhere to strict Indian and international standards, such as BIS 15909:2020 and CE marking (European Conformity for Quality).
At the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certification in Malanpur, Madhya Pradesh, it produces highquality geomembranes that meet the most demanding applications across sectors like road and rail transportation tunnels, buildings and hydraulic structures.
In the infrastructure segment, the company manufactures innovative geomembranes, waterproofing membranes, and roofing solutions required in largescale projects. These products are essential for tunnel linings, reservoir containment, landfill capping, GFRD, waterproofing, and roofing systems. In the automotive industry, the company offers an array of engineered vinyl materials and produces comprehensive solutions for automotive upholstery.
Addressing the Durability Conundrum
The company employs advanced manufacturing techniques and sources of premium-grade raw materials with BIS Certification to ensure its products can withstand harsh environmental conditions and design life requirements of these critical projects. It utilizes highperformance polymers and proprietary formulations to enhance the resilience, flexibility, and lifespan of its offerings.
These geomembranes undergo rigorous quality control and durability tests at its in-house manufacturing facilities and are frequently verified by independent thirdparty laboratories like SGS, Shriram, and BTRA, among others. Compliance with international certifications like ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, and REACH further ensures that the products meet durability and safety benchmarks.
Miraishield’s efficacy can be gauged from its support of critical projects such as the NHIDCL Zojila Tunnel, NHAI Ramban-Banihal Tunnel, Shimla Bypass, RVNL Rishikesh Karnprayag Tunnel project, IRCON Rangpo Rail Line Tunnel and NEFR Kohima Dimapur Tunnel project. These projects required geomembranes capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions and offering a long lifespan. The company has delivered on these requirements consistently to leading infrastructure organizations like L&T, MEIL, Navayuga, Rithwik and Tata Projects among others.
“We are arguably one of the few companies that can meet the stringent standards for these projects defined by leading international and domestic consultants like AECOM, ALTINOK, Geodata, Geoconsult, Italiferr, ICT, Lombardi, and Yuksel among many other design consultants”, says Vikas Rastogi, COO (Building and Construction Vertical), Marvel Vinyls. “We have become India’s largest manufacturer of contemporary geomembranes for transportation tunnels within a very short period”, he adds.
The company aims to support the government's initiatives in dam rehabilitation, the development of road and rail infrastructure through tunnels, and the construction of high-quality institutional and residential projects. In addition, it is looking to extend its reach into international markets and sees significant potential for its highquality geomembranes, which comply with or exceed American and European standards.
Enhancing product range and advancing manufacturing capabilities to cater to the growing demand for sustainable and durable solutions across various industries is also on the cards. Through its blend of technical expertise, manufacturing excellence, and customer focus, Miraishield can help shape the future of geosynthetics in India and beyond.
