Examples of projects
Net manufacturing and custom device design for a gas holder tank
The tank net has a dual role: preventing any potential fall of the cover membranes into the digester and capturing the sulphur contained in the biogas, which would be harmful to the digester’s drive components.
St Andrew’s Cross – ADP Group
Nets dedicated to airport signalling: a custom solution in netting and heavy braid, designed to withstand the most demanding weather conditions. Faster installation for better responsiveness in the field, durable and reusable, with no need for paint.
Stormwater filtration net – Vinci Construction
Stormwater filtration net: an effective solution to trap waste and pollutants before they are discharged into the network.
