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.

Livorno ENI Refinery

The Eni refinery in Livorno, located in Tuscany, is a historic industrial site founded in 1939. Originally established as a traditional oil refinery for processing crude oil, the infrastructure is now at the center of one of the most important Italian energy transition projects, aimed at its complete conversion into a latest-generation biorefinery. Once the transformation is complete, the facility will no longer process fossil fuels, but will exclusively treat biogenic feedstocks, such as used cooking oils, waste animal fats, and agri-food industry residues, to transform them into hydrogenated biofuels. With this new industrial asset, the project pursues a twofold objective. On one hand, it aims to produce clean fuels by replacing oil with biological waste and used cooking oils; this reduces CO₂ emissions in transport and helps Eni reach the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. On the other hand, the conversion serves to save the factory and jobs, transforming an old plant that was at risk of closure into a modern site, thereby guaranteeing employment for all workers in the Livorno area.

Bioenergy

H2H Saltend

H2H Saltend is a low-carbon hydrogen production project led by Equinor and the anchor project of the Zero Carbon Humber initiative. Located at Saltend Chemicals Park near Hull, in northeast England, the facility will produce blue hydrogen from natural gas using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. The project is designed to supply low-carbon hydrogen to industrial users, helping to reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 900,000 tonnes per year while supporting the decarbonization of the Humber industrial cluster and the UK’s transition to a net-zero economy.

Oil&Gas

Coral South Project

At the center of the project, Coral Sul FLNG: a floating plant for the liquefaction of natural gas. The ship is 432 meters long and weighs 200 thousand tons. It also has a gas liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million tons per year and will produce LNG from the 500 billion cubic meters of gas from the Coral field. This historic project will help increase the availability of gas on the global market and is an important lever of Mozambique economic and social development.
