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.

Latest successful projects

Energy

New Hydrogen Production Unit – Porto Marghera

The project aims at implementing two hydrogen production lines for the Venice biorefinery in Porto Marghera. Its primary objective is to increase the availability of hydrogen at the biorefinery to fulfill the requirements of the EcofiningTM unit in terms of quality, quantity, and availability, all while optimizing energy efficiency. As part of a phased transition to producing decarbonized hydrogen, these units are designed to significantly reduce the emission of fossil CO2 into the atmosphere by utilizing biogenic charges recirculated by the EcofiningTM unit.

Petrochemical

PDH – Kallo Project

The upcoming propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant is set to be a major player, aiming for a production capacity of 750,000 metric tonnes per year, positioning it among the world’s largest and most efficient facilities. It is situated at an existing Borealis production site in Kallo, Belgium, chosen for its strategic logistical location and extensive experience in propylene production. Additionally, the selection aims to capitalize on synergies with the existing PDH unit. Utilizing Honeywell UOP’s Oleflex™ technology, known for its reliability and sustainability in propylene production, underscores the plant’s commitment to efficient and eco-friendly operations.

Oil&Gas

Ghana OCTP Development Project

The Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) project is a comprehensive endeavor focused on developing oil and natural gas reserves, specifically to meet the energy needs of Sub-Saharan Africa. Positioned off Ghana’s western coast, OCTP operates subsea wells and systems linked to the John Agyekum Kufuor Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit. In 2020, OCTP contributed over half of Ghana’s gas supply for thermal power generation.
