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

Petrochemical

Project CERES

The Ceres Urea Plant, located on the coast of Western Australia, is a large onshore facility for the production of ammonia and urea from natural gas. Once completed, it will be the world’s largest gas-based ammonia and urea production plant. It uses local natural gas to produce fertilizers, integrating ammonia production, urea production, granulation, auxiliary services, port infrastructure and water supply facilities. The plant will include production areas, storage facilities and administrative functions. A 3.2 km conveyor belt will connect the plant to the port for the transport and loading of urea intended for export. The facility is designed to contribute to the target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Tortue Development Project – Phase 1

An offshore project based on gas production in deep waters up to 2 km off the maritime border between Mauritania and Senegal. It is currently the deepest offshore project in Africa. Planned in phases, the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project will produce up to 10 million tonnes of LNG per year (Mtpa). A new drilling called Greater Tortue Ahmeyim-1 was carried out to a total depth of 4,884 meters in the eastern part of the Greater Tortue area, discovering 30 meters of net gas in a high-quality Albian reservoir in July 2019. This new discovery indicates the potential to expand the capacity of the LNG project beyond 10 Mtpa in the future.

Garraf Field – Gas Dehydration Plant

Situated in the Thi Qar province, approximately 5km northwest of Al-Refaei city and 85km north of Nasiriya, the Garraf oil field has an onshore location. Discovered in 1984, this oil field contains oil reserves within Cretaceous reservoirs. Spanning 17.5km in length and 5.5km in width, it is estimated to harbor 1.3 billion barrels of oil. Upon reaching full production, the field’s production capacity is projected to escalate to 230,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd). Transportation of the oil field’s products is facilitated through a 13km pipeline to the Gharraf-Badra tie-in area (GBTA). Subsequently, it is conveyed via a 28-inch, 92km pipeline to the Nassiriyah storage depot.
