Could you brief us on ELGi Equipments and its journey in the construction and mining sector over the years?

ELGi has a legacy of providing reliable compressed air solution for the construction, mining, and infrastructure sectors for more than four decades.
Drilling is both technically demanding and commercially challenging in these industries. For drilling small to large blast holes, the compressors should meet the critical requirements of faster penetration, reliable performance and fuel economy in drilling operations. ELGi air compressors have proved to be a good choice to meet these demands. With faster drilling, our machines ensures higher productivity at lower drilling litre per metre. The compressors are available in diesel and electric powered versions. They have broad usage in diverse applications that include DTH drilling, oil and gas exploration, tunnelling, pigging, sand blasting quarrying, piling, laying of fibre cables, road and bridge construction.

What are the key achievements of the company in the recent past in the area of air compressors?

In Malaysia, ELGi compressors are aiding in the battle to keep the slopes of Cameron Highlands intact: alaysia has several highway and hillside development projects, including in the undulating terrain of the Cameron Highlands. Since this region receives a lot of rainfall and slopes tend to grow ‘distressed’ with time, the slopes need to be ‘stabilised’. Engineers prefer soil nailing to strengthen slopes instead of concrete walls that require excessive earthwork. First used in 1972 in France, soil nailing has grown popular because it is easy to implement and requires little maintenance. Soil nails may also be used to stabilise embankments and retain walls. Solid or hollow nails are driven into the soil as excavation is carried out. The nails are set in place at regularly spaced horizontal and vertical locations all over a slope.
