Chain Link Security Fencing – Galwan Valley, Ladakh
- Client: Indian Army
- Location: Galwan Valley, Ladakh
- Project Type: Defence Perimeter Security Fencing
Project Overview
SM Infra Solutions successfully executed a critical chain link security fencing project in the Galwan Valley, one of India’s most sensitive and high-altitude defence regions. The project was undertaken for the Indian Army under extreme climatic, logistical, and geographical challenges.
Situated at an altitude of over 15,000 feet, the site experiences temperatures ranging from –15°C to –20°C, strong winds, rocky terrain, and limited accessibility — making execution highly demanding.
Challenges on Ground
This project required more than standard engineering execution. Our team faced multiple real-world challenges:
Sub-zero temperatures affecting material handling and installation
Oxygen-deficient conditions impacting manpower efficiency
Rocky, uneven terrain requiring manual groundwork and precise alignment
Limited transport windows due to weather and terrain restrictions
Strict security protocols and time-bound defence schedules
Despite these conditions, uninterrupted progress was maintained through disciplined planning and on-site adaptability.
Our Approach & Execution
To overcome these challenges, SM Infra Solutions deployed a dedicated, experienced field team trained for high-altitude operations. Materials were pre-engineered, quality-checked, and transported with precision planning to avoid delays.
Installation was carried out using army-grade GI chain link fencing, reinforced with robust posts and anchoring systems designed to withstand extreme cold, wind pressure, and long-term exposure.
Strict safety measures, compliance protocols, and coordination with defence authorities were followed throughout the execution.
Outcome & Impact
The project was completed successfully within the stipulated timeline, delivering a strong, reliable, and durable perimeter security solution in one of India’s most challenging defence zones.
This project stands as a testament to SM Infra Solutions’ ability to execute mission-critical infrastructure works under extreme environmental and operational conditions.
