Grounding Systems

Spina Group designs and supplies industrial grounding systems that guarantee the safety of goods and people, using high quality components to protect against atmospheric discharges for earthing systems.

Grounding means the set of actions and systems aimed at bringing a metallic element to the electric potential of the ground. It is important to ensure grounding where dangerous situations can occur when parts of the electrical system that are not normally live, due to failures or unforeseen events, acquire an electrical potential with respect to the ground.

Earthing, in particular, protects people from the risk of electrocution, in practice from “indirect contacts”. It consists of one or more interconnected dispersers placed in the ground and a series of earth and protection conductors which connect the aforementioned disperser to the user appliances.

Our Offer

Ground Rods

A wide range of earth rods, such as round section ground rods, T section ground rods, L section ground rods, X section ground rods, ground plates and accessories, designed according to the size of the currents that it disperse into the ground.

Lightning Rods

Spina Group offers a wide selection of accessories both for the protection against direct and indirect electric shock that ensure protection of the system from atmospheric discharges.

Equipotential Connections & Accessories

A wide selection of clamps, plates, turnband, bonding bars, terminal boards, bar insulators and bridge cables suitable for earthing stainless steel, copper and nickel-plated brass pipes.

Bare & Insulated Conductors

Tools for electrical connections, electromechanical applications, transformer rooms compliant with national and foreign regulations. Sections and shaping different from the standard can be supplied on request. The products comply with the main national and international standards and with specific customer requests.

Earthing Pits

Spina offers a wide selection of inspection sumps in anti-corrosive plastic, available with removable bottom, carriageable cover, suitable for cable and earthing connection.

Surge Arresters

Overvoltage surge arresters (also called SPD – Surge Protection Device) are mechanisms that allow to protect electrical equipment from overvoltages by absorbing the generated current. They can also be inserted in an already existing system in order not to modify the operation of the system.

Oil&Gas

Ivory Coast Baleine – FPSO Firenze

The FPSO Florence will enable the start-up of production from the Baleine field, currently the largest hydrocarbon discovery in Côte d’Ivoire, with an estimated 2.5 billion barrels of oil in place and 3.3 trillion cubic feet of associated gas. The Baleine development is also expected to become Africa’s first net-zero upstream project. Upon its arrival in Ivory Coast, the vessel will be renamed FPSO Baleine. The unit has been refurbished and upgraded to process up to 15,000 barrels of oil per day (bbl/d) and approximately 25 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d) of associated gas. All produced gas will be transported onshore through a newly constructed export pipeline.

Sannazzaro Revamping

The Sannazzaro Revamping is a project for the partial conversion of Eni’s Sannazzaro de’ Burgondi refinery, in the province of Pavia. Developed by Eni, the project involves the conversion of the Hydrocracker HDC2 unit, the construction of a pretreatment plant for waste and residues, and the upgrade of logistics and auxiliary infrastructure. The new biorefinery will have a capacity of approximately 550,000 tonnes/year and will produce HVO diesel and SAF-biojet, contributing to the decarbonization of transport and to the expansion of Eni’s biorefining capacity.

Rotterdam Site Development Project

The production of renewable products began at the Rotterdam refinery in the Netherlands in 2011, marking a significant milestone in sustainability efforts. With Neste’s current capacity for renewable products standing at 1.4 million tons in Rotterdam, it currently holds the title for the largest such capacity in Europe. To further bolster its commitment to renewable energy, Neste is undertaking a substantial investment of approximately EUR 1.9 billion for the expansion of the Rotterdam refinery. This expansion project aims to increase overall renewable product capacity by 1.3 million tons per annum. Consequently, the total renewable product capacity in Rotterdam will soar to 2.7 million tons annually, with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production capability accounting for 1.2 million tons. The target timeline for starting up the new production unit is set for 2026.
