“For the past 10 years, I have been supporting Minova’s clients across Italy in tunnelling (NATM & TBM excavation methods) and railway rehabilitation projects. Through my commitment to excellence, I have helped customers achieve high-quality standards by promoting certified, reliable, and high-performance solutions. My expertise, customer focus, and dedication have contributed to the successful delivery of critical infrastructure projects while strengthening Minova’s reputation for quality and innovation in the Italian market.”

โ€œI have been working at Minova for nine years as a construction chemical engineer, developing practical solutions tailored to customer needs. My work focuses on research and development projects involving both organic and cementitious materials for mining and civil engineering applications. As part of the R&D team, I contribute to the development of more sustainable and user-friendly solutions. This often requires a non-standard approach, close cooperation within the team, and turning technical ideas into practical applications.โ€

โ€œMy engineering career began in concrete production and construction, giving me a strong technical foundation before I moved into geotechnics, erosion control and slope stabilisation – areas I have developed over 11 years working at Platipus and now Minova. Drawing on this expertise, I have delivered mechanical anchoring and slope stabilisation infrastructure projects across nearly every country in Latin America, working closely with clients to engineer reliable ground support solutions for complex geotechnical challenges. Building regional technical presence across Latin America has been one of the most rewarding challenges of my career.โ€

Thank you to all our female engineers for the expertise, commitment, and ingenuity they bring to Minova.
